Hi Abhishek

Lets evaluate the first if:

var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'
if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");
}

If (money is equal or greater then 100) or (today is Friday) get an alert that says "Time to go to the theater". Because today is Friday, it will always print "Time to go to the theater".

What we need to check is if we have enough money and today is Friday.

Also notice that the last "else if" is checking if today is not Friday, and we want to check if today is Friday.

So the answer would be:

var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");

Haha, thank for you answer Idan, I just put the code like this before see you correct answer and is wrong

var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( money <=9 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");   
} else {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");
}
