I don’t think you want to return for each case statement. That will cause the function to end immediately and you’ll never do the replace in the last return statement.

You also have typos and an extra closing bracket.

I’d also think you would have to define a replacer function with the switch inside it (you can have the replacer function inside or outside the main function).
