Tell us what’s happening:

  **Your code so far**


function switchOfStuff(val) {
var answer = "empty string";
// Only change code below this line

switch (val) {
case "a";
 answer  = "apple";
 break;
case "b";
 answer = "bird";
 break;
case "c";
 answer = "cat";
 break;
default:
  answer = "stuff";
  break;
}

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

switchOfStuff(1);

console.log(switchOfstuff('a'));
