Hi Pinky

You’ve got this, it is just missing an opening brace '{' after (isStudent) to balance everything.

const isAdmin = false;
const isStudent = true;
let message;

if (isAdmin ) {
  message = 'Welcome admin';
} else if (isStudent) {
  message = "Welcome student";
}

It seems very solid but notice you overlooked one curly bracket in the second half of your code

else if (isStudent)
  message = "Welcome student";
}

Hey pinky! Looks like you almost had it ! I see a few people giving you the answer already but for the future just make sure you create {} marks first and just type within both of them. That way you have a much harder time forgetting them. Best of luck ! Here is the solution. 

const isAdmin = false;
const isStudent = true;
let message;

if ( isAdmin ) {
  message = 'Welcome admin';
}
else if (isStudent) {
  message = "Welcome student";
}
