Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


// Setup
function phoneticLookup(val) {
  var result = "";
  var lookup = {
    "alpha": "Adams",
    "bravo": "Boston",
    "charlie": "Chicago",
    "delta": "Denver",
    "echo": "Easy",
    "foxtrot": "Frank"
  }

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

// Change this value to test
phoneticLookup("charlie");

result is defined as an empty string. Then you return result. The function just returns an empty string every time, you aren’t doing anything with lookup
