When you use prompt() the input is returned as a string. You need to convert the input to an int using parseInt() https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_parseint.asp

Also, switch doesn't work with conditionals like that. You'd need to use if statements. https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_switch.asp

Just place the prompt inside the parseInt call parseInt(prompt("plz enter age"));

ChaoticDawg can you edit my code, and convert the output to an int using parselent. Because i have no knowledge of int and parselent.
