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'.
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome Administrator');
} {else (isStudent) alert('Welcome student'); }

Also, the brace that begins the code block should be placed after the conditional expression in parentheses (not before the "else").

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 20,985 PointsIt should be an else if statement, and the curly brackets come AFTER the parentheses.....
else if(isStudent) {
alert("Welcome student.");
}
