2,419 PointsWhat am I missing ? The program asks if I have added the else clause, but I have!
The program runs as expected, asking "Who are you?". The 'else' condition only runs if both variables are false, and opens that alert box.
var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = false;
if ( isAdmin ) {
alert('Welcome administrator');
} else if (isStudent) {
alert('Welcome student');
} else {
alert('Who are you?');
}

17,826 PointsI believe it's failing due to an indentation issue. Remove two spaces before else, and remove 4 spaces before your last alert. It should pass with those changes.

2,419 PointsStrange, I still get a "Bummer: Did you add a final else
clause at the end of the conditional statement?"

5,965 PointsI also copied the code into the challenged and it passed. If it is still failing for you, try to remove the white space before your last else and alert!
