case 3:
console.log("gamma");
break;
case 4:
console.log("delta");
break;
default:

// Change this value to test
caseInSwitch(1);
```What to value to assign to var answer=" ";

@venkyafhs thanks for the issue. I'm not sure what your particular issue is but I assume it is the issue with the tests not rendering correctly.
Currently, the <code> tags are not closed. So these:
...'message: <code>caseInSwitch(1) should have a value of \"alpha\"
need to be
...'message: <code>caseInSwitch(1)</code> should have a value of \"alpha\"
for the first four tests.
These four lines need to be changed.
Edit: I just found your note at the bottom What to value to assign to var answer. You were supposed to set answer to the strings you've printed to the console.
Write a switch statement which tests
valand sets answer for the following conditions:
If you get stuck with a challenge, please ask questions to the Help Room. Happy coding!

you do not have to console.log, think about using answer as your return value. i will give you the first one as an example, your switch should be val not answer but your returning answer
switch(val) {
case 1:
answer= ("alpha");
break;
//do the the same thing for what you have left
}
// Only change code above this line
return answer;
}
this should help

function caseInSwitch(val) {
var answer = val; //here need set answer = val and your code work!)
// Only change code below this line
switch (answer) {
case 1:
answer = "alpha";
break;
case 2:
answer = "beta";
break;
case 3:
answer = "gamma";
break;
case 4:
answer = "delta";
break;
}
// Only change code above this line
return answer;
}
// Change this value to test
caseInSwitch(2);

also your switch should be switch(val) not answer

Gah! I'm stuck, and not too sure what I'm missing on this... Any pointers, would be much appreciated...
`function caseInSwitch(val) {
var answer = "";
// Only change code below this line
switch (val){
case "1": answer = ("alpha");
break;
case "2": answer = "beta";
break;
case "3": answer = "gamma";
break;
case "4": answer = "delta";
break;
}
// Only change code above this line
return answer;
}
// Change this value to test
caseInSwitch(1);`

just one thing: the default should always be there in a switch statement.

kouflor you should not use console.log. At the bottom the return statement is equal to answer (return answer;). There's a hint.
Also the in the switch you don't use (answer).
Good luck.
