The key learning opportunity is how to read Error Message. Let me emphasize the logic again. You have five console.log If the problem is with console.log Then the error should be at first console.log But now it shows fourth console.log, so we check the line before. When you program, you will meet a lot of bug. It is normal. Skill is to read error message and debug it.

Missing colon after case(4) at line 23 Hint is error message Error at Line 24, which is console.log("Terminal"), so look into end of line 23

Terminate the console.log with ;

Raphael Kuayi Indeed console.log doesn't have to end with semi-colon, because JavaScript has ASI (Automatic Semi-colon Insertion). Semi-colon is usually optional, except for these keywords: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Lexical_grammar#automatic_semicolon_insertion
