1,731 PointsThanks for your answer Robert. I could solve it by adding && to the first and second and changing the thrid value to ===

Check the value of "money" as well as "today" on the third one and you should be good to move on to the next one.

1,731 PointsI did it. I changed the last statement, however, it didn't work. It worked as I did it above. I think it is a problem in the question that makes us think that we need to add the money. But I could solve it. It was the last part of my first course in javascript :)

9,360 PointsGreat. As long as you learned how the condition work is all that matters.

9,360 PointsYou need to adjust the condition of the if statements to run the correct code.
Remember that || is "or" and it means only one side of the condition needs to be true.
If you want both sides to be true you will need to change it to && meaning "and".
Looks like all 3 of those will need adjusting.
