Metric/Imperial Converter failing user stories but passing Chai tests

[anilsiv]

Hi All,

Probably missing something really silly here but my Metric/Imperial converter is failing 3 user stories while passing all tests and I can’t debug the error.

The failing tests are the actual conversion ones so I expect it’s something to do with the return value, I’ve tried returning the full number, a string fixed to 5 and a Number() of that string and none of it seems to be working.

You can convert 'gal' to 'L' and vice versa. (1 gal to 3.78541 L)

You can convert 'lbs' to 'kg' and vice versa. (1 lbs to 0.453592 kg)

You can convert 'mi' to 'km' and vice versa. (1 mi to 1.60934 km)

Fixed it, this was the code that finally worked if anyone runs into my mistake in the future!

 switch(initUnit) {
    case 'mi': return Number((initNum * miToKm).toFixed(5)); 
    case 'km': return Number((initNum / miToKm).toFixed(5));
    case 'lbs': return Number((initNum * lbsToKg).toFixed(5));
    case 'kg': return Number((initNum / lbsToKg).toFixed(5));
    case 'gal': return Number((initNum * galToL).toFixed(5));
    case 'l': return Number((initNum / galToL).toFixed(5)); 
    default:
      return 'unknown';
  }
