See the correct alert message but the message says its wrong

I see the correct alert message "welcome student' but the message says " Bummer I dont see the message ' welcome Student" : It appears the message comes up before the alert box open .. what could be wrong in my code

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

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

Hey Sana,

Challenges are very picky and specific. You're code is correct, except the challenge is asking for "Welcome student", where student has a Lower-Case "s".

Fix that up and you're good to go!

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
