I am doing the Basic JavaScript: Replacing If Else Chains with Switch lesson and I cant get past this one.

function chainToSwitch(val) {

  var answer = "";

  // Only change code below this line

  switch(val) {

    case "bob":

      answer = "Marley";

      break;

    case 42:

      answer = "The Answer";

      break;

    case 1:

      answer = "There is no #1";

      break;

    case 99: 

      answer = "Missed me by this much!";

      break;

    case 7:

      answer = "Ate Nine";

      break;

  }

    

  } 

  // Only change code above this line

chainToSwitch(7);

this is what I have so far, the case statements are not equaling the values.

I move the thread to the appropriate subforum and I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Note: Backticks are not single quotes.

You are setting the answer variable, but you are not returning it.
