7,201 PointsThe task is not explained right, no matter how I get the right answer I do not get the green check mark.
No matter how i change the code for the task to get the right answer i do not pass the question, it just gives me the same error that there seems to be one or more "||". If there is only one way to get the right answer it should be specified.
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'
if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Saturday' ) {
alert("Time to go to the theater");
} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Sunday' ) {
alert("Time for a movie and dinner");
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Monday' ) {
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.");
}

It wants you to use AND not OR.

7,201 PointsI know, but shlouldn't it ask to change the OR to correctly run, rather than asking to fix the script?

15,053 PointsVlad Tanasie : the AND/OR operators are a part of the Script. You're suppose to read the True/False statements and evaluate what needs to be changed. If this were code I was writing, my days listed were probably right, but it's not working how I would expect. Therefore, it's more likely I'm writing Friday correctly and mistyped a special character -- like the OR operator or the AND operator.
