Write an if statement that test if isAdmin is true. Then assign a string to the variable, “message”

I’m either not understanding the question or I’m not doing it right. I think I’m not doing it right.

script.js 
const isAdmin = true;
const isStudent = false;
let message =;
if(message){
   isAdmin = `Welcome Admin.`;

}

Hey Glenn,

Try this out:

const isAdmin = true;
const isStudent = false;
let message;

if(isAdmin === true) {
  message = 'Welcome admin';
}

You are writing a condition inside parentheses, and if that condition is true Welcome admin will be assigned to a variable message.
