please guys why did we have to use return here instead of case???

  **Your code so far**


function caseInSwitch(val) {
var answer = "";
// Only change code below this line
switch (val) {
  case 1:
    return "alpha";
    break;
  case 2:
    return "beta";
    break;
  case 3:
    return "gamma";
    break;
  case 4:
    return "delta";
    break;
}

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

caseInSwitch(1);

I don’t understand the question. You used both return and case.

You don’t have to use your last return statement (return answer). You could either return from the switch statement, or just re-assign the answer variable in the switch and return it at the bottom.

If you don’t want to use return in the switch, change every occurrence of return to answer =

There are different places that you can put return statements, but you need to return a value because that’s a requirement for three function.
