Choose a branch with switch

Use switch to select a message from an exact value.

STEP 1 · LEARN

How it works

switch evaluates its expression once and finds the first case that matches strictly. break prevents fall-through into the next case, while default handles remaining values.

Correct example

const role = 'editor';
switch (role) {
  case 'admin':
    console.log('Administrare');
    break;
  case 'editor':
    console.log('Editare');
    break;
  default:
    console.log('Vizualizare');
}

The editor value activates the second case and produces one message.

Common mistake

if (role === 'editor') { console.log('Editare'); }

The result may be correct, but this exercise checks the switch structure, its cases and explicit stopping.

STEP 2 · APPLY

Your exercise

For role = “editor”, print “Editare” using switch, two cases, break and default.

STEP 4 · CHECK

What needs to pass

0%not checked

role is declared with const.
switch checks role and includes admin, editor and default.
The output is exactly Editare.

Explain the solution logic

switch compares role with each case; break ends the editor case before default.
