Question: Why dont need default statement

Tell us what’s happening:
My question is why dont need default statement here? But I put default still valid pass…

(Attached below guidelines)
chainToSwitch("John") should be “” (empty string)

chainToSwitch(156) should be “” (empty string)

Your code so far


function chainToSwitch(val) {
var answer = "";
// Only change code below this line
switch (val) {
case "bob": 
  answer = "Marley";
  break;
case 42: 
  answer = "The Answer";
  break;
case 1:
  answer = "There is no #1";
  break;
case 99:
  answer = "Missed me by this much!";
  break;
case 7:
  answer = "Ate Nine";
  break;
default:
  answer = "";
  break;
}

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

chainToSwitch(7);

Challenge: Replacing If Else Chains with Switch

Link to the challenge:

Your default is the same thing as the initial value of the answer, so your default case has no effect.
