Tell us what’s happening:

it diagnoses a problem in the letter c for the case 1]

Your code so far

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


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

caseInSwitch(1);

You’re missing the first part of the switch/case format

As the previous comment mentioned, to begin a switch statement you will need to include the keyword switch. The implementation looks like:

switch (val) { 
  case 1: 
    answer += "alpha";
    break;
  // other cases...
}

It’s best practice to include a default: statement at the end of your switch statement. This ensures that if none of the cases match, you don’t unintentionally return an undefined value. The implementation looks exactly like a case statement:

case 4:
  answer += "delta";
  break;
default: 
  return "no matching case";
