You don't need to make any variables here.

You just need to put in the value true into the parentheses so JavaScript will pass into the if block and run the code the challenge expects to run.

Your idea is of using the true value is correct, though :)

script.js 
if ( true ) {
    alert('This is true');
} else {
    alert('This is false');
}

I hope this helps! ~Alex

You might be overthinking the challenge a bit, a Boolean value is just the values true or false. And they can be used on their own as conditions. The solution looks like this:

if (true) {
    alert('This is true');
} else {
    alert('This is false');
}

An if statement will execute if you pass it the Boolean true, or any expression that evaluates to true.
