I am utterly not grasping what this task

JavaScript

Continuing the discussion from freeCodeCamp Challenge Guide: Golf Code:
honnestly this is the most difficult task that i have not been able to understand in Javascript even after going through the solutions i still dont fully grasp it. but i get the idea. if anyone can help i will appreciate more.

I think you might need to be a little more specific about what you donā€™t understand. It sounds like you already looked at the possible solutions in the hints. What donā€™t you understand about those?

There are few things you can pin point when exploring the task. First, your function is meant to return a string, one of the listed. To be returned, each string has a condition listed. All the conditions has that in common, they compare the strokes with the par, which are parameters provided when calling the function. For example, if the strokes are equal par + 2, we return the string ā€˜Double Bogeyā€™. If the strokes are less or equal par - 2, we return ā€˜Eagleā€™. And so onā€¦ A straight forward solution would be to list a number of conditions, for every case/string listed. The order of conditions can also be of importance

This really helped alot

They are asking you to write a function whereby given any stroke, either less than or greater than whatever par that is specified, it will correspond with the output(or return) section in the table given.
This is how i did mine:

so I had a fun experience with this one. after passively trying to understand the challenge overnight(as recommended), and trying to build and correctly arrange the code, then going to the forums for help and inspiration but no help(this time), Finally I had my final solution perfect in every way, yet when I clicked ā€œRun the Testsā€, nothing happened. so eventually, after trying many changes, and ideas from the forums, I reverted to my first "final solution, which still did not work.

WHAT DID WORK:

CUT the entire code out, refresh the page, paste the code back in, Run the Tests.

what a joke.
