Why would this code fail tests?

JavaScript
#1

Edit: Please ignore. I found the reason why is because I was not returning mainArray.

Tell us what’s happening:
I’m completing this challenge and as I show the result of ‘mainArray’ in console, it appears to be correct. Yet the tests still fail. Why would the tests fail?

Your code so far


function pairElement(str) {
let mainArray = [];

for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
  switch (str[i]) {
    case 'G':
      mainArray.push(['G', 'C']);
      break;
    case 'C':
      mainArray.push(['C', 'G']);
      break;
    case 'T':
      mainArray.push(['T', 'A']);
      break;
    case 'A':
      mainArray.push(['A', 'T']);
      break;
  }
}
console.log(mainArray);
return str;
}

pairElement("ATCGA");

Make sure you are returning the correct thing from the pairElement function.
