## Description
<section id='description'>
Если у вас есть много вариантов на выбор, оператор <code>switch</code> может быть проще писать, чем многие прикованные <code>if</code> / <code>else if</code> . Следующие: <blockquote> если (val === 1) { <br> answer = &quot;a&quot;; <br> } else if (val === 2) { <br> answer = &quot;b&quot;; <br> } else { <br> answer = &quot;c&quot;; <br> } </blockquote> можно заменить на: <blockquote> switch (val) { <br> Дело 1: <br> answer = &quot;a&quot;; <br> ломать; <br> случай 2: <br> answer = &quot;b&quot;; <br> ломать; <br> по умолчанию: <br> answer = &quot;c&quot;; <br> } </blockquote>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Измените прикованные инструкции <code>if</code> / <code>else if</code> оператор <code>switch</code> .
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: You should not use any <code>else</code> statements anywhere in the editor
    testString: assert(!/else/g.test(code));
  - text: You should not use any <code>if</code> statements anywhere in the editor
    testString: assert(!/if/g.test(code));
  - text: You should have at least four <code>break</code> statements
    testString: assert(code.match(/break/g).length >= 4);
  - text: <code>chainToSwitch("bob")</code> should be "Marley"
    testString: assert(chainToSwitch("bob") === "Marley");
  - text: <code>chainToSwitch(42)</code> should be "The Answer"
    testString: assert(chainToSwitch(42) === "The Answer");
  - text: '<code>chainToSwitch(1)</code> should be "There is no #1"'
    testString: 'assert(chainToSwitch(1) === "There is no #1");'
  - text: <code>chainToSwitch(99)</code> should be "Missed me by this much!"
    testString: assert(chainToSwitch(99) === "Missed me by this much!");
  - text: <code>chainToSwitch(7)</code> should be "Ate Nine"
    testString: assert(chainToSwitch(7) === "Ate Nine");
  - text: <code>chainToSwitch("John")</code> should be "" (empty string)
    testString: assert(chainToSwitch("John") === "");
  - text: <code>chainToSwitch(156)</code> should be "" (empty string)
    testString: assert(chainToSwitch(156) === "");

## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>

<div id='js-seed'>

```js
function chainToSwitch(val) {
  var answer = "";
  // Only change code below this line

  if (val === "bob") {
    answer = "Marley";
  } else if (val === 42) {
    answer = "The Answer";
  } else if (val === 1) {
    answer = "There is no #1";
  } else if (val === 99) {
    answer = "Missed me by this much!";
  } else if (val === 7) {
    answer = "Ate Nine";
  }

  // Only change code above this line
  return answer;
}

// Change this value to test
chainToSwitch(7);

```

</div>

</section>

## Solution
<section id='solution'>

```js
function chainToSwitch(val) {
  var answer = "";

  switch(val) {
    case "bob":
      answer = "Marley";
      break;
    case 42:
      answer = "The Answer";
      break;
    case 1:
      answer = "There is no #1";
      break;
    case 99:
      answer = "Missed me by this much!";
      break;
    case 7:
      answer = "Ate Nine";
  }
  return answer;
}
