Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

I can’t see what is wrong with mine.
Anyone can help me?

Your code so far

function caseInSwitch(val) {
  let answer = "";
  // Only change code below this line
  switch (val) {
    case 1:
      console.log("alpha");
      break;
    case 2:
      console.log("beta");
      break;
    case 3:
      console.log("gamma");
      break;
    case 4:
      console.log("delta");
      break;
  }


  // Only change code above this line
  return answer;
}

caseInSwitch(1);

Challenge: Basic JavaScript - Selecting from Many Options with Switch Statements

Link to the challenge:

The instructions said to set the answer variable, but you haven’t done that?

The example in this lesson is extremely poorly written, since they do not explain the syntax and just jump right into an example usage. The wording of it makes you think that you should use the terminology in the statement they give “console.log();” but that is not the case.

The example should have been more like this:

switch (num) {
  case value1:
    statement1;
    break;
  case value2:
    statement2;
    break;
...

which is what is given in the next lesson. Hopefully this makes it a bit clearer.

the question wants you to set the value of an answer not to console log it
