8,915 PointsHi,
The following code worked in the code challenge for me
var booleanValue = true;
if (true) {
alert('This is true');
} else {
alert('This is false');
}
The conditional statement takes the value of the variable but not the variable itself. Im not sure why but you should be able to pass the challenge with the code above!
Cheers

Just in case you didnt know because I didnt know for a long time!
Happy coding

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 71,350 PointsHi Eva, This code is well formed (no errors) and produces an alert box that displays the message "This is true". Are you expecting a different result?
