There are five cases that are accepted. Still kind of a newbie to Java, so this is a slightly odd case. As far as I can tell (I've read the code at least twice) it should work perfectly fine, unless the double switch is making it not function... I get the error "SyntaxError: Unexpected token case"

• javascript
• switch-statement

• wow dude, give the code some format :/ and explain why it should work and where it doesnt. – Ed Morales Commented Jun 28, 2014 at 3:32
• That's not Java. JavaScript presumably, which is a very different language. – Tom Hawtin - tackline Commented Jun 28, 2014 at 3:37
• Usually the error is acpanied by a line number. You look at/around that line, find the error and fix it. – Felix Kling Commented Jun 28, 2014 at 3:54

1 Answer 1

In this part ("buy it" case), you are missing this end brace.

else {
  console.log("I'm sorry you don't have that much money. You still need" + String(missingMoney) + "$! The duck pulls out a gun and shoots you.");
} //<<-- missing this end brace
break;
