Hello Malcolm "if" should be non capitalized and "isAdmin" in brackets should be a one word with capital "A".

I hope this helps

Hi, replay the video to see how Guil did it. 'if' is a syntax, you can't just change the i to uppercase and spread the camel cased isAdmin to is admin.

Here's my solution for this challenge:

const isAdmin = true;
const isStudent = false;
let message;
if (isAdmin){
    message= "Welcome admin";
}

Hope it helps!

I know this is an older post but I was hoping this may help someone out. Actually took me a bit to figure this answer out. I had the correct "if" statement but they also want you to add the "else" statement. 

const isAdmin = true;
const isStudent = false;
let message;
if (isAdmin) {
message = "Welcome admin";
}else {
isAdmin = isStudent;
}
