you are missing the closing parenthesis of the switch statement

but also, if you fix that, your function is always returning 1, you need to set the value of answer based on the value of val - if you change val you loose the input value

Hi @emilionovillo2,
Do not assign value for the answer at the beginning. you have to edit code between given lines. In this challenge, you have to check the value given as the parameter (val) and assign the appropriate answer according to that value. Therefore the variable that is being checked inside the switch statement must be val. According to the val, you have to assign the relevant value (alpha, beta…) as the answer.
So your switch statement should be like this

switch (val){
    case 1:
      answer = "alpha";
      break;
    case 2:
      answer = "beta";
      break;
    case 3:
      answer = "gamma";
      break;
    case 4:
      answer = "delta";
      break;    
  }
