Tell us what’s happening:
Can anyone please tell me what’s the wrong with this code?
Your code so far

const names = ["Hole-in-one!", "Eagle", "Birdie", "Par", "Bogey", "Double Bogey", "Go Home!"];

function golfScore(par, strokes) {
  // Only change code below this line
let tot = par-strokes;
return tot;
if (strokes == 1) {
  return names[0];
}
else if (tot >=2){
  return names[1];
}
else if (tot ==1){
  return names[2];
}
else if (tot ==0){
  return names[3];
}
else if (tot ==-1){
  return names[4];
}
else if (tot ==-2){
  return names[5];
}
else if (tot <=-3){
  return names[6];
}
else {
  return names[6];
}

  // Only change code above this line
}

golfScore(5, 4);

Yes. take a look at your first return statement (return tot;). When you reach a return statement in a function it leaves the function. So you never get to the if statements. You don’t need this return statement. I hope this helps
