Somethings wrong with this script

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 (money > 0 || 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."); }

Im stumped....

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 (money > 0 ||  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.");
}

Your code seems to be working for me. If you're using Workspaces, try copying the code, closing and re-opening Workspaces, paste the code back in and try again. Seems silly, but it's worked for me a few times in the past.

Hey J J,

The logic of your last else if doesn't work. It needs to be an && symbol so that it checks to see if money is greater than 0 and today is Friday. You can also leave the money > 0 off of the else if because once the money is below 10, this else if will execute.
