How can you avoid repetition in js

Question

I am working on an app that uses a database but it prints the person name from the database more than once(5 times) please help me guys

Answer 1

Can you write the code here please

Answer 2

Just copy it to the private or in comments like a text

Answer 3

Look if this is the code then there's two mistakes

1- in case help you forgot to type ":" in last of statement

2- in case date you forgot to add break;

Answer 4

Make sure it's not inside a for loop or an event.

Answer 5

Unable to post the code

Answer 6

It's not in a for loop, it's in a switch loop

Answer 7

Let me be straight, its meant to get users input and obey

var sl = prompt("Command: ");
switch (sl)
{
case "help"
alert("about, date");
break;
case "date":
var date = new Date()
alert(date);
case "about":
alert("Version 1.8");
break;
default:
alert("No such command")
break;
}

This is all so far
