i'm not able to solve this, could you help me?

script.js 
const isAdmin = false;
const isStudent = false;
let message;

if ( isAdmin ) {
  message = 'Welcome admin';
} else if ( isStudent ) {
  message = 'Welcome student';
} else (isAdmin + isStudent = false) {
  message = 'Access denied';
}

A plain "else" doesn't take a conditional clause, since it handles all cases not already covered by the previous "if" statements.

Little late on my answer but hoping this may help someone. The "else" is basically already considered 'false'. So all you will really need to do is 

else {
message = "Access denied";
}
