Freecodecamp: Waypoint: Logical Order in If Else Statements - Small Mistake in the Tests Explanation?

[trittich]

Challenge Waypoint: Logical Order in If Else Statements has an issue.
User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0.

My code:

function myTest(val) {
  if(val < 5) {
    return "Less than 5";
  } else if(val < 10) {
    return "Less than 10";
  } else {
    return "Greater than or equal to 10";
  }
}

// Change this value to test
myTest(7);

It is only a minor mistake but the first Test being done to check the code says >myTest(5) should return "Less than 5" - Im pretty sure it should say >myTest(4) should return "Less than 5" tho since 5 isnt less than 5. This seems to be only a mistake in this Text and not in the test itself since the correct code is accepted.

I thoroughly agree with you, amenshamen. The logic here isn't right. It should be a number smaller than 5 in the test case in order for the logic to make sense because 5 is not less than 5.

[cybot1711]

Agreed.

[mihai54321]

Agreed.

[DiegoRBaquero]

Was about to make and issue too. Agreed +1

[4mifix]

I have the same code that you have and it's not working. Something is amiss!

[Smorano1224]

Agreed. Was about to report the bug.

THERE SHOULD BE SOME CORRECTION.... IN FIRST IF STATEMENT IF WE PUT VAL >=5....IT WILL BE MORE LOGICAL BECAUSE IF WE DONT PUT >= INSTEAD PUT ONLY > ...THEN WHILE INVOKING THE FUNCTION...IF WE GIVE ARGUMENT AS 5 THEN IT WILL RETURN GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 10....
JUST A THOUGHT.....WHAT YOU SAY

why in the free code camp this code is not work ning
function myTest(val) {
if(val < 5) {
return "Less than 5";
} else if(val < 10) {
return "Less than 10";
} else {
return "Greater than or equal to 10";
}
}

// Change this value to test
myTest(4);

i teste in the console and is working , admin can you fix please

Answer
function orderMyLogic(val) {
if (val < 5) {
return "Less than 5";
} else if (val < 10) {
return "Less than 10";
} else {
return "Greater than or equal to 10";
}
}

orderMyLogic(7); // Less than 10

[nazmulhooque]

Mr. @misterds
Try this code

function orderMyLogic(val) {
if (val < 5) {
return "Less than 5";
} else if (val < 10) {
return "Less than 10";
} else {
return "Greater than or equal to 10";
}
}

orderMyLogic(7); // Less than 10
