Replacing If Else Chains with Switch

If you have many options to choose from, a switch statement can be easier to write than many chained if/else if statements. The following:

if (val === 1) {
  answer = "a";
} else if (val === 2) {
  answer = "b";
} else {
  answer = "c";
}

can be replaced with:

switch (val) {
  case 1:
    answer = "a";
    break;
  case 2:
    answer = "b";
    break;
  default:
    answer = "c";
}

Change the chained if/else if statements into a switch statement.

Tests

  • Waiting: 1. You should not use any else statements anywhere in the editor
  • Waiting: 2. You should not use any if statements anywhere in the editor
  • Waiting: 3. You should have at least four break statements
  • Waiting: 4. chainToSwitch("bob") should return the string Marley
  • Waiting: 5. chainToSwitch(42) should return the string The Answer
  • Waiting: 6. chainToSwitch(1) should return the string There is no #1
  • Waiting: 7. chainToSwitch(99) should return the string Missed me by this much!
  • Waiting: 8. chainToSwitch(7) should return the string Ate Nine
  • Waiting: 9. chainToSwitch("John") should return "" (empty string)
  • Waiting: 10. chainToSwitch(156) should return "" (empty string)
