What am I missing? The alert box is popping up fine.

I am getting the alert to display "Welcome Student", but the challenge is telling me "Hmm, I don't see 'Welcome Student' in the alert message".

I will post my code below.

It's rather silly, but in your alert message you have student with a capital S. It needs to be a lowercase s.

Here is my code:

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;

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