Else if challenge

Hi guys,

need a little help over here. So I want to create an else if function that writes 'Welcome Student' in alert box when isStudent = true. However, the Bummer keeps coming to my screen.

I'm pretty sure I coded it right, but just take a look at my code and let me know your thoughts about this.

script.js 
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;

if ( isAdmin) {
  alert('Welcome administrator')
} else if (isStudent) {
  alert('Welcome Student')
}
index.html

Hey Gibran,

The challenges can be really specific sometimes. Try "Welcome student" without the capital S.
