Why does my switch case statement only execute the default case when i ask a user input for the expression?

Question

var rll=window.prompt("Write a number!");
switch(rll){
case 1:
alert("Ichi");
break;
case 2:
alert("Ni");
break;
default:
alert("N/A");
}

Answer 1

This is because the input is a string, and your case is an integer

Try : case "1",
Or convert the input to an integer using parseInt

Answer 2

seems like switch care about the data type. try

switch(parseInt(rll))
