Dear Community, I have been trying to solve this challenge of Or operator use, but sadly i can´t find the answer.

script.js 
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 || today !== 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 || today !== 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 || today !== 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( today === 'Friday' || money < 9) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");

Okay so your output is actually correct, but it doesn't accept it because they actually want you to change the OR conditions into AND conditions. 

const money = 9;
const today = 'Friday'

if ( money > 10 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater.");    
} else if ( money >= 50 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner.");    
} else if ( today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out.");   
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");
}

Please feel free to ask if you had any questions.

Dear Alzubair Alshehhi , Good morning,

I appreciate and thank you for your kind reply and help, is it possible to give also this answer for the last else if sentence ?

} else if ( today === "Friday" && money === 9 ){ alert ("It´s Friday , but I don´t have enough money to go out.");

Kind regards, and thank you again,

Ivonne
