Hi,
I am not able to find out the mistake in this code. Each time I run this code it gives me an error saying, "I don't see welcome student." However, same code did not give any error when I wrote it in console. I can not go further if I don't complete this challenge.
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome administrator')
} else if (isStudent) {
alert('Welcome Student')
}

Courses Plus Student 1,749 PointsThe challenges are VERY picky this way. I would agree with @sean's answer; I was going to suggest removing the space between 'if' and '( is Admin )' ---- so, instead of " if ( is Admin ) " you'd have " if( isAdmin ) " --- but according to W3Schools, that shouldn't matter. Did you try @sean's suggestion, and did it work for you? I remember having some trouble with this particular challenge myself a few months ago.
