Add a final else clause to this conditional statement. If both the isAdmin and isStudent variables are false, the value
const isAdmin = false;
const isStudent = false;
let message;
if ( isAdmin ) {
message = 'Welcome admin';
} else if ( isStudent ) {
message = 'Welcome student';
} else { isAdmin + isStudent = false
message= ("Access denied");
}

2,010 PointsAdd a final else clause to this conditional statement. If both the isAdmin and isStudent variables are false, the value of the message variable should be "Access denied".
if ( isAdmin ) { message = 'Welcome admin'; } else if ( isStudent ) { message = 'Welcome student'; } else (false) = message = 'Access denied' }
I have used 2 or three different answers and I get two different bummer answers.

11,820 PointsHi Robert,
if and else if statements take conditionals, else does not. Remove your final conditional and you should be good to go:
else {
message = ("Access denied");
}
Remember that else will only run if the other statements don't evaluate to true. Your code checks if isAdmin is true, then if isStudent is true, so the final else will only be able to run if both of those conditions are false.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
