You might want to re-watch the video about if-else if :-)

if (condition) {
  // do something
} else if (condition) {
  // do something
} else {
 // do something
}

Thank you Henrik :) I will definitely re-watch it.

Sometimes when I struggle in a challenge I have the video open in one tab and the challenge in another tab :-)

i saw that inside condition you make an asigment instead =(this is asigment operator) use ===(this is equal)
