Sorry, I am so confused on this last question. I want my print out to read I don't have enough money to go out

Need assistance with this code.

script.js 
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 9 || today === 'Friday' ) {    
} else if ( money > 10 || today ===);
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
} else {
}

I believe the intention of the challenge is that you will change only the comparison operators and the logic operators to cause the alert statements to be issued for the appropriate conditions. You don't need to (and probably should not) change the basic structure of the script or the order of the tests and messages.

Start over with the original script and take a look at the way the tests are being combined.

The "OR" operator ( || ) is true if either test is true. You want to change the operator so the expressions are true only if both tests are true. You want each if statement to test the money and ( && ) the day. Fix that on each line with two tests.

The final test for just the day only needs to check if it is Friday instead of not Friday.

Give it another shot and see if you can get it now.

I found it :wink: But you could have added it here in a comment instead of starting another question.
For the benefit of other readers, here is the new question.
