Multiple Identical Options in Switch Statements |
Multiple Identical Options in Switch Statements
Problem Explanation
If the break statement is omitted from a switch statement's case, the following case statement(s) are executed until a break is encountered. If you have multiple inputs with the same output, you can represent them in a switch statement like this:
switch(val) {
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
result = "1, 2, or 3";
break;
case 4:
result = "4 alone";
}
Cases for 1, 2, and 3 will all produce the same result.
Write a switch statement to set answer for the following ranges:
1-3
- "Low"
4-6
- "Mid"
7-9
- "High"
Note: You will need to have a case statement for each number in the range.
Spoiler alert!
Solution ahead!
Code Solution:
function sequentialSizes(val) {
var answer = "";
// Only change code below this line
switch(val) {
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
return "Low";
break;
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
return "Mid";
break;
case 7:
case 8:
case 9:
return "High";
break;
}
// Only change code above this line
return answer;
}
// Change this value to test
sequentialSizes(1);
Alternative code solution:
function sequentialSizes(val) {
var answer = "";
// Only change code below this line
switch(val){
case 1: case 2: case 3:
answer = "Low";
break;
case 4: case 5: case 6:
answer = "Mid";
break;
case 7: case 8: case 9:
answer = "High";
}
// Only change code above this line
return answer;
}
// Change this value to test
sequentialSizes(1);

Code explanation
Since you already have a variable named answer
defined and the function returns it, you can just modify its value on each group of case statements to fit the exercise requirements.
