Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


function switchOfStuff(val) {
  var answer = "";
  // Only change code below this line
   switch(answer)
  {
    case "a":
    answer="apple";
    break; 

    case "b":
    answer= "bird";
    break;

    case "c":
   answer= "cat";
    break;

    default:
    answer= "stuff";
  }
  
  
  // Only change code above this line  
  return answer;  
}

// Change this value to test
switchOfStuff(1);

Without referencing the answer variable, many of the test cases fail so I went ahead and referenced it.

Hey you were right. I should have used the variable val in my switch instead of answer.
