Today our coding challenge will let us figure out what is wrong with the code. within the function we have a switch statement that is not returning the correct value. Can you figure out what is wrong with this function?

const getPlanetName = (id)=>{

    let results;
    
    switch (id) {
    case 1:
    results = "Mercury"
    case 2:
    results = "Venus"
    case 3:
    results = "Earth"
    case 4:
    results = "Mars"
    case 5:
    results = "Jupiter"
    case 6:
    results = "Saturn"
    case 7:
    results = "Uranus"
    case 8:
    results = "Neptune"
    }
    
    return results
    }
    
    console.log(getPlanetName(1));
    
    // output = Neptune

The function above will always return "Neptune" regardless of what input you put to the getPlanetName function. The reason why that is happening is because when you are using a switch statement, at the end of each "case", you should include a "break" statement. You will understand what I am talking about after seeing the solution to the above problem below.

    const getPlanetName = (id)=>{

        let results;
        
        switch (id) {
        case 1:
        results = "Mercury"
        break;
        case 2:
        results = "Venus"
        break;
        case 3:
        results = "Earth"
        break;
        case 4:
        results = "Mars"
        break;
        case 5:
        results = "Jupiter"
        break;
        case 6:
        results = "Saturn"
        break;
        case 7:
        results = "Uranus"
        break;
        case 8:
        results = "Neptune"
        break;
        }
        
        return results
        }
        
        console.log(getPlanetName(7));
        
        // output = Uranus

Now our function has been fixed. Thanks to the "break" keyword.
