Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:

// Setup
var phoneticLookup = {
  "alpha": "Adams",
  "bravo": "Boston",
  "charlie": "Chicago",
  "delta": "Denver",
  "echo": "Easy",
  "foxtrot": "Frank"
};

// Change this value to test
var val = "bravo";
val = phoneticLookup[val];

Hello,
I just passed this exercise and I believe that was too tricky. In the default code you should write that it's ok if you change the return command too. I had a hard time because I though I'm not supposed to change it...

You are not suppose to change the whole code. Just change the switch statement to a lookup table and make it so that result returns the correct value.

If you need help, please go to the main room or the help room. GitHub is used only for issues.

I am having a problem with this because the example does not even show where the "lookup" operation is meant to be. Why have an example if it leaves out what is supposed to be happening?
