Please Tell us what’s happening in your own words.

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more you say, the more we can help!

  • currently this case is of type “string”, not exactly what test cases are asking in those kinds of “cases”

lets read from test cases

chainToSwitch(1) should return the string There is no #1

  • do you see how its different case “type” than what you have attempted?

address those changes in all of those “relatable” cases, and it should be fine, happy learning :slight_smile:
