IDK why i am getting this question wrong?

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 message 'Welcome student'.

this is the question that was asked in the coding challenge

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

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

}
index.html

I answered on your other post, but if you're truly stuck on this challenge, you should be able to complete it with the following.

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator')
}

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