I have reviewed all the answers on the forum and still can't get past the debugging. Please help.

Add an else if clause that tests to see if the isStudent variable is true. If it is then open an alert dialog with the messs

script.js 
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator')
}   else if ( isStudent) {
  alert('Welcome student')
}

Your code looks correct. So I tried pasting it directly into the challenge, and it passed!

Try restarting your browser and see if it works then.

Steven, thanks for your review. I did refresh the browser and pasted my code. I would have never thought of that. Thanks!
