Don’t know what I’m missing

Your code so far


var names = ["Hole-in-one!", "Eagle", "Birdie", "Par", "Bogey", "Double Bogey", "Go Home!"];
function golfScore(par, strokes) {
  // Only change code below this line
  
  if (name == 1) {
    return "Hole-in-one!"
  }
  else if (name <= par - 2) {
    return "Eagle"
  }
  else if (name == par - 1) {
    return "Birdie"
  }
  else if (name == par) {
    return "Par"
  }
  else if (name == par + 1) {
    return "Bogey"
  }
  else if (name == par + 2) {
    return "Double Bogey"
  }
  else if (name >= par + 3) {
    return "Go Home!"
  }
  else {
  return "Change Me"
  }
  // Only change code above this line
}

// Change these values to test
golfScore(5, 4);

It still doesn’t work

I posted my code again

Why are you referring to a variable called “name”? You should be using the strokes variable passed into the function. name is an array and will never be equal to a number.

I am going to sleep now, but hopefully I have given you enough hints for you to correct your code.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate all your help.
