It says it doesnt get the correct alert..

Am I missing something? I keep getting random errors... it say's it didn't get the correct alert popup saying "Welcome Student" but I get the popup with the correct alert message...

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

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

Unfortunately code challenges can be really picky with case sensitivity like this. Your alert reads "Welcome Student" while they want "Welcome student".
