JavaScript

Hello, this lesson is not producing the correct result. Thank you for your input.

function testElse(val) {

  var result = "";

  // Only change code below this line

  if (val > 5) {

    result = "Bigger than 5";

  

  } else {

    result = "5 or smaller"; 

  }

  // Only change code above this line

  return result;

}

testElse(4);

The test results does notr produce the expected result. There is already a post about this issue from 2016 ( freeCodeCamp Challenge Guide: Introducing Else Statements ).

No replies. May I get some help?

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.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

Your string does not have correct capitalization.

Actually, the solution doesn’t have correct capitalization either.

Are you sure? They all seem to align for me. There may have been a bug when the OP posted, but I’m not seeing one now.
