Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 18,685 PointsSomething's wrong with this script."It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out".
Can anyone help? The outcome of this Task came out as what asked when preview.but I don' understand what is the problem.
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' ) {
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.");
}

54,969 PointsThe following evaluates to true because both values are truthy Note: In using OR only one value needs to evaluate to true.
} else if ( today || 'Friday' ) {
But it doesn't correctly evaluate if today
is 'Friday'
. For that you will need a comparison operator
