The next few challenges are going to be using boolean logic and will be building in complexity.
Place a Boolean value between the parenthesis for the condition in this conditional statement. Use the boolean value that will result in the message "This is true" appearing in an alert box. i dont know what to do
if ( ) {
alert('This is true');
} else {
alert('This is false');
}

10,808 PointsBoolean values are either true or false, and what he is asking is to choose which one will make the first alert run. So we need to put in the value that will execute the first block of code. If we set it to true then it will execute the first code block.
if (true) { // <-- the boolean value we need to execute the first block goes in the parentheses.
alert('this is true'); // Only runs if we set the value in parentheses to true.
} else {
alert('this is false'); //Only runs if condition is set to false by putting false in the parentheses.

Courses Plus Student 13,318 Pointsfill in the correct boolean operator in the parenthesis. Focus on the javascript code in the script.js file.
The goal is to make the script work.
to do that you need to fill in the conditional... what goes in the parenthesis?
if (??ANSWER_HERE??) { alert("this is true"); } else { alert("this is false"); }
What needs to be in the conditional for the first statement to come up? Which boolean statement?
Remember: A boolean statement is only either true or false.
