Using Objects for Lookups:Replacing Switch Statements

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

Could not find anything wrong here!

Your code so far


// Setup
function phoneticLookup(val) {
  var result = "";

  // Only change code below this line
  var lookup = {
    "alpha": "Adams",
    "bravo": "Boston",
    "charlie": "Chicago",
    "delta": "Denver",
    "echo": "Easy",
    "foxtrot": "Frank"
  };

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

// Change this value to test
phoneticLookup("charlie");

You are never updating result value.
So far you are always returning "".

It’s not enough to implement a lookup table, you also have to use it :slight_smile:
Hope this helps
