We use switch to replace if else ladder but you have kind of tried to do both. All the cases should be a finite value or a string and not a condition in order for your code to run. https://www.sololearn.com/learn/JavaScript/1139/

Hi! the case value must be unambiguous, since the condition is checked for strict equality. you have two choices: either use a check for each value, like this: var grade = prompt("what is your grade")); alert(grade); switch(grade){ case 90: case 91: case 92: case 93: case 94: case 95: case 96: case 97: case 98: case 99: document.write("<b>excellent</b>"); break; .... or use the IF construct
