+
+Here’s the setup:
+
+```javascript
+function chainToSwitch(val) {
+  var answer = "";
+  // Only change code below this line
+  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";
+        break;
+  }
+  // Only change code above this line  
+  return answer;  
+}
+// Change this value to test
+chainToSwitch(7);
+```
+
+We need to change the chained ```if/else if``` statements into a ```switch``` statement.
+
+ Here’s a solution:
+ 
+ Now, we need to comment (```//``` - select all lines and ```ctrl+/```) all chained ```if/else if``` statements:
+ 
+ ```javascript
+ //   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";
+//   }
+ ```
+ 
+ Next, we need to create simple ```switch``` statement:
+ 
+ ```javascript
+ switch(val) {
+ } 
+ ```
+ 
+ and add in this ```switch``` statement ```case``` - for all ```if/else if``` statement (just copy it from our commented code above):
+ 
+  ```javascript
+  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";
+        break;
+  }
+  ``` 
+ 
+ Dont forget to use ```break``` in each ```case```!
+ Now, we can delete commented code with ```if/else if``` statement above.
+ 
+ Here’s a full solution:
+ 
+ ```javascript
+ function chainToSwitch(val) {
+  var answer = "";
+  // Only change code below this line
+  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";
+        break;
+  } 
+  // Only change code above this line  
+  return answer;  
+}
+// Change this value to test
+chainToSwitch(7);
+ ```
