Add an else at the end

like

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent) {
    alert('Welcome student');
} else {

}

And then fill in the between else statement.

add an extra else clause to the condition. like the following code.

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent) {
    alert('Welcome student');
} else {
    // Removed
}

You shouldn't give the entire answer because that spoils the education.
