Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


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

  // Only change code below this line
      "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");

running gave me an error:

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

  // Only change code below this line
      "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");

But I’m guessing you made a code typo here. It looks like your missing one for “”. “” can be created as a key/value storage.

@freecodecampram
this code will work:

// 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"
  }
result=lookup[val];
  // Only change code above this line
  return result;
}

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