# --description--
`if/else` statements can be chained together for complex logic. Here is <dfn>pseudocode</dfn> of multiple chained `if` / `else if` statements:
```js
if (condition1) {
statement1
} else if (condition2) {
statement2
} else if (condition3) {
statement3
. . .
} else {
statementN
}
```
# --instructions--
Write chained `if`/`else if` statements to fulfill the following conditions:
`num < 5` - return "Tiny"
`num < 10` - return "Small"
`num < 15` - return "Medium"
`num < 20` - return "Large"
`num >= 20` - return "Huge"
# --hints--
You should have at least four `else` statements
```js
assert(code.match(/else/g).length > 3);
```
You should have at least four `if` statements
```js
assert(code.match(/if/g).length > 3);
```
You should have at least one `return` statement
```js
assert(code.match(/return/g).length >= 1);
```
`testSize(0)` should return "Tiny"
```js
assert(testSize(0) === 'Tiny');
```
`testSize(4)` should return "Tiny"
```js
assert(testSize(4) === 'Tiny');
```
`testSize(5)` should return "Small"
```js
assert(testSize(5) === 'Small');
```
`testSize(8)` should return "Small"
```js
assert(testSize(8) === 'Small');
```
`testSize(10)` should return "Medium"
```js
assert(testSize(10) === 'Medium');
```
`testSize(14)` should return "Medium"
```js
assert(testSize(14) === 'Medium');
```
`testSize(15)` should return "Large"
```js
assert(testSize(15) === 'Large');
```
`testSize(17)` should return "Large"
```js
assert(testSize(17) === 'Large');
```
`testSize(20)` should return "Huge"
```js
assert(testSize(20) === 'Huge');
```
`testSize(25)` should return "Huge"
```js
assert(testSize(25) === 'Huge');
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function testSize(num) {
// Only change code below this line
return "Change Me";
// Only change code above this line
}
testSize(7);
```
# --solutions--
```js
function testSize(num) {
if (num < 5) {
return "Tiny";
} else if (num < 10) {
return "Small";
} else if (num < 15) {
return "Medium";
} else if (num < 20) {
return "Large";
} else {
return "Huge";
}
}
```
