}

There's nothing technically wrong with the code as is written. But to put it in lamens terms the code challenge is saying "I notice you've assigned a value to the message variable in line 3 where you've made it an empty string, but you're also adding one in the message variable inside the if statement, I don't want it like this so can you just leave it as a declared variable with no value?"
So just leave it like this.
const isAdmin = true;
const isStudent = false;
let message;
Good luck!
