// change the value of `room` and `suspect` to test your code
var room = "dining room";
var suspect = "Mr. Parkes";

var weapon = "";
var solved = false;

if (room === "ballroom" && suspect === "Mr. Kalehoff") {
    weapon = "poison"; solved = true;
} else if (room === "gallery" && suspect === "Ms. Van Cleve") {
    weapon = "trophy"; solved = true;
} else if (room === "billiards room" && suspect === "Mrs. Sparr") {
    weapon = "pool stick"; solved = true;
} else {
    weapon = "knife"; solved = true;
}

if (solved) {
	console.log(suspect + " did it in the " + room + " with the " + weapon + "!");
}

Thank you for the help. My mistakes are always syntax. I was assuming since they already supplied the var's in the information, then I didnt have to retype them. And I added the bottom portion in my code along with the body.

I Thing I have found the solution

/*

• QUIZ REQUIREMENTS
• 1. Your code should have a variables - room, suspect, weapon, and solved
• 2. Your code should include a conditional statement
• 3. The variable suspect should use one of the provided values
• 4. The variable weapon should be based on the room
• 5. Your code should produce the expected output: __________ did it in the __________ with the __________!
• Example: Mr. Parkes did it in the dining room with the knife!
• 6. For unmatching combination of the suspect and the room, print nothing on the console
     */

/* ****************************************** /
/ TESTING LOGIC */
// Change the value of room and suspect to test your code

// A room can be either of - dining room, gallery, ballroom, or billiards room
var room = "ballroom";

// A suspect can be either of - Mr. Parkes, Ms. Van Cleve, Mrs. Sparr, or Mr. Kalehoff
// Test your code by giving matching as well as unmatching names of the suspect
var suspect = "Mr. Kalehoff";

/* ****************************************** */

/* IMPLEMENTATION LOGIC*/

// Initial values
var weapon = "";
var solved = false;

/*

• To help solve this mystery, write a combination of conditional statements that:
• 1. sets the value of weapon based on the room and
• 2. sets the value of solved to true if the value of room matches the suspect's room
     /
     if (room == "ballroom" && suspect == "Mr. Kalehoff") {
     solved = true;
     weapon = "poison";
     } else if (room == "gallery" && suspect == "Ms. Van Cleve") {
     solved = true;
     weapon = "trophy";
     } else if (room == "billiards room" && suspect == "Mrs. Sparr") {
     solved = true;
     weapon = "pool stick";
     } else {
     solved = true;
     weapon = "knife";
     suspect = "Mr. Parkes";
     room = "dining room";
     }
     / ****************************************** /
     // The code below will run only when solved is true
     if (solved) {
     console.log(suspect+" did it in the "+room+" with the "+weapon+"!");
     } else {
     "nothing"
     }
     / ****************************************** */`

in last else, you should set vars (suspect and room )

why is the initial value false
