multiple if else conditional statement

i am stuck with this question please help me to solve this question the error showing for this quiz is showing like this: It looks like there is at least one logical OR operator (that's the || symbols). Those test if just one of the conditions is true. kindly help me resolving this question

const money = prompt('enter your money');
const today =prompt('enter the day');

if ( money > 10 || 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<9 || today !== 'Friday' ) {
  alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home.");   
} else {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out.");
}

Hi Samith,

I'm not sure of the quiz, but from a logical perspective (assuming the alerts are accurate) the conditions should go...

if money is greater than or equal to 50 AND today is Friday, go to dinner & a movie
otherwise, if money is greater than or equal to 10 AND today is Friday, go to a movie
otherwise, if money is greater than or equal to 10 AND/BUT today is NOT Friday, don't go to a movie
otherwise, I must not have enough money to go out.

Again, the accuracy of that pseudo code is dependent on the accuracy of the alerts you want to show to the user.

Hope this helps.
