--description--

if/else statements can be chained together for complex logic. Here is pseudocode of multiple chained if / else if statements:

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

assert(code.match(/else/g).length > 3);

You should have at least four if statements

assert(code.match(/if/g).length > 3);

You should have at least one return statement

assert(code.match(/return/g).length >= 1);

testSize(0) should return "Tiny"

assert(testSize(0) === 'Tiny');

testSize(4) should return "Tiny"

assert(testSize(4) === 'Tiny');

testSize(5) should return "Small"

assert(testSize(5) === 'Small');

testSize(8) should return "Small"

assert(testSize(8) === 'Small');

testSize(10) should return "Medium"

assert(testSize(10) === 'Medium');

testSize(14) should return "Medium"

assert(testSize(14) === 'Medium');

testSize(15) should return "Large"

assert(testSize(15) === 'Large');

testSize(17) should return "Large"

assert(testSize(17) === 'Large');

testSize(20) should return "Huge"

assert(testSize(20) === 'Huge');

testSize(25) should return "Huge"

assert(testSize(25) === 'Huge');

--seed--

--seed-contents--

function testSize(num) {
  // Only change code below this line


  return "Change Me";
  // Only change code above this line
}

testSize(7);

--solutions--

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";
  }
}
