JavaScript

Ten tries (resetting code) and get same ‘weird’ error that won’t let code run
I’d like to get this one checked off the list. Thanks.

**function testElseIf(val) {
if (val > 10) {
return “Greater than 10”;
}

else if (val < 5) {
return “Smaller than 5”;
} else {

return “Between 5 and 10”;
}

testElseIf(7);
**
Error:
SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token (14:0)

function testElseIf(val) {

else if (val < 5) {
  return "Smaller than 5";
} else {

return "Between 5 and 10";
