I’m trying to figure out where I’m messing up in my solution. Any feedback is welcome

Your code so far


var names = ["Hole-in-one!", "Eagle", "Birdie", "Par", "Bogey", "Double Bogey", "Go Home!"];
function golfScore(par, strokes) {
// Only change code below this line
if (strokes == 1) {
  return names[0];
} else if (strokes <= (par - 2)) {
  return names[1];
} else if (strokes == (par - 1)) {
  return names[2];
} else if (strokes = par) {
  return names[3];
} else if (strokes == (par + 1)) {
  return names[4];
} else if (strokes == (par + 2)) {
  return names[5];
} else {
return names[6];
}
// Only change code above this line
}

golfScore(5, 4);
