Tell us what’s happening:
my editor says:
SyntaxError: unknown: Missing semicolon. (4:14)
2 | let answer = “”;
3 | // Only change code below this line
4 | Switch (val) {
| ^
5 | case “bob”:
6 | answer = “Marley”;
7 | break;
But there should not be a semicolon on that spot. And the test will not run. The only thing I can do is copy & paste from the solution page. Then the editor does not give this error. This happens with evere challenge. I’ve tried Chrome , but there’s the same error.
Your code so far
function chainToSwitch(val) {
let 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;
}
// Only change code above this line
return answer;
}
chainToSwitch(7);
