Not sure what is wrong with my code.

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

if ( isAdmin ) {
  message = 'Welcome admin';
} else if ( isStudent ) {
  message = 'Welcome student';
} 
else isAdmin && isStudent  {
  message = 'Access Denied'
}

A final "else" doesn't use any kind of conditional expression, since it handles all cases not already covered. Remove everything between "else" and the open brace and you'll have it.
