*Tell us what’s happening:
i tried all the hints but still cant reach it

  **Your code so far**

function switchOfStuff(val) {
let answer = "";

switch (val) {
case "a":
 answer = "apple";
 break;
case "b":
 answer = "bird";
 break;
case "c"
 answer = "cat";
 break;
default:
 answer = "stuff";
}
// Only change code below this line
// Only change code above this line
return answer;
}
switchOfStuff(1);

This is from the assignment code editor:

let answer = “”;
// Only change code below this line

// Only change code above this line
return answer;

I guess the code you are writing (the switch statement, etc.) needs to be between the two comments.

Im getting an error that gives a big hint to what is wrong:

SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token, expected ":" (12:1)

  10 |  break;
  11 | case "c"
> 12 |  answer = "cat";
     |  ^
  13 |  break;
  14 | default:
  15 |  answer = "stuff";

Take a closer look at your case “c”
