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.");
}
The way you get the "It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out" phrase is to change your OR conditionals to AND conditionals.
Also, you need to have the inverse function. So not today !=='Friday' but the opposite.

15,052 PointsHi maya sophie ,
Your answer isn't fully correct. And they have parsers to determine if you're working through the question thoroughly. The correct answer is this (and I checked):
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.");
}
Do you see the differences between what I put here and your original answer?
maya sophie
5,754 PointsYes that's the code should be on the console ,I've already did that.......with 1 correction: today === 'Friday' not today== 'Friday'.. I lunched all this discussion to ask if there are alternative ways to run the code and get the same result( because I've checked in Brackets and it was also running different code with same result. Anyways, it's great to see people get help in learning..thx a lot for answers.
Kevin Gates
15,052 PointsYes, there are ways other than the above to test this and get the results. But their parser to check your answers is expecting a specific setup.

5,754 PointsThanks Kevin...I did that...I was just wondering why is not saying something like:"...also corect but you should change the or to and..."Because the way I did is also giving me the corect answer.
