script.js 
const isAdmin = false;
const isStudent = true;
let message;

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

Here's some hints:

  • the task is to set the value of "message", you won't need "alert"
  • don't change the original code, just add your "else" after it
  • check for balanced braces (the same number of opens and closes)
