Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far

// Setup
function phoneticLookup(val) {
  var result = "";

  // Only change code below this line
  
  
 var lookup = {
   "alpha": "Adams",
    "bravo": "Boston",
    "charlie": "Chicago",
    "delta": "Denver",
    "echo": "Easy",
    "foxtrot": "Frank",
  };
  result = lookup.val;
   

  // Only change code above this line
  return result;
}

// Change this value to test
phoneticLookup("charlie");
