Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


function caseInSwitch(val) {
  var answer = "";
  // Only change code below this line
   switch (val) {
  case 1:
    Answer = "alpha";
    break;

  case 2:
    Answer = "beta";
    break;

  case 3:
    Answer = "gamma";
    break;

  case 4:
    Answer = "delta";
    break;
  
  // Only change code above this line

In your code, you’re assigning a value to a nonexistent variable called “Answer,” but then you return the variable “answer,” which is always an empty string. Remember: variable names are case-sensitive.
