Switch Statements

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

what needs to be changed in my code to work?

Your code so far


function caseInSwitch(val) {
  var answer = "";
  // Only change code below this line
  case 1:
  return "alpha";
  break;
  
   case 2:
  return "beta";
  break;

   case 3:
  return "gamma";
  break;

  case 4:
  return "delta";
  break;
  
  // Only change code above this line  
  return answer;  
}

// Change this value to test
caseInSwitch(1);
caseInSwitch(2);
caseInSwitch(3);
caseInSwitch(4);

You’re not assigning the value ‘alpha’, ‘delta’, etc to the ‘answer’ variable , you’re just returning the value ( which make the ‘break’ unreachable, but i guess that’s not your problem ^^ )
