What is wrong with my code? It looks right but says it's wrong.

Not sure what I am doing wrong here.

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

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent) {
    alert('Welcome student');
}   else {
    alert('Who are you?'); 
}

I cant either see the problem. this code works tho

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent) {
    alert('Welcome student');
} else {
  alert('Who are you?');
}

There was an extra space before the 'else'. Thank you.

Hi Dominic! Your solution is good. Just a typo or bug, I don't know. Replace it the simple paragraph tags on "Who are you?". Hope this help.
