Basic JavaScript - Golf Code

JavaScript

What am I doing wrong?

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

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

golfScore(5, 4);

What does this line do? (Hint: it doesn’t do what you want it to do)

4

It should mean if the strokes are equal to 1 I suppose

Check my hint - a singe = doesn’t do what you want here.

= doesn’t do a comparison
