What am I doing wrong with final else clause?

What am I doing wrong here? What is the syntax error please?

script.js 
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

if (isAdmin) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} 

else if (isStudent) {
    alert('Welcome student');
} 

else {
  alert('Who are you?');
}
                                                       }

Hi Brian,

You seem to have an extra closing curly brace in the code. It's way off to the right, but it's there. Just delete that and the code will pass.

Nice work! :) :dizzy:
