Something's wrong with this script. Can someone give me the right code
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' && money < 10 ) {
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.");
}

Don't change any values, and definitely don't change any of the messages or add new ones!

2,691 PointsHow is that the internal Treehouse editor tells you the answer is correct and when you check the answer the same error keeps coming up no matter what you change? Is this not a contradiction? Either the editor must be wrong or there is a fault in the code.
Starting to wonder about the value of this course. If it is designed to frustrate you || take you money === job done

231,236 PointsHow is it that the "editor tells you the answer is correct"? Only the check button can determine if the answer is correct, the editor has no idea what the objective is.

231,236 PointsThe last test needs to check for equal to "Friday" instead of not equal, because it outputs "It's Friday...".
