Im on a bootcamp recrtuitment , and one of the exercises is to get a password for each day of the week . The weekly pass is allways de same but in each day I have to append the consonants of the weekday to the weeklyPass . Here is what I wrote .

var weekDay = 'Friday';
var currentPass; // this is the values they gave me
switch (weekDay) {
    case (weekDay = 'monday'):
        console.log(currentPass = weeklyPass   'mnd');
    break;
        case (weekDay = 'tuesday'):
            console.log(currentPass = weeklyPass   'tsd');
    break;
        case (weekDay = 'wednesday'):
            console.log(currentPass = weeklyPass   'wdnsd');
    break;
        case (weekDay = 'thursday'):
            console.log(currentPAss = weeklyPass   'thrsd');
    break;    
        case (weekDay = 'friday'):
            console.log(currentPass = weeklyPass   'frd');       
    break;
        case (weekDay = 'saturday'):
            console.log(currentPass = weeklyPass   'strd');
    break;
        case (weeKday = 'sunday'):
            console.log(currentPass = weeklyPass   'snd');
    break;
    }```

A simpler way to approach this would be to use Date#getDay() to get the 0-6 index of the current day within the week and store the suffixes in an array with same indexing.

Then use the day index to retrieve the associated suffix.

const suffixes = ['snd','mnd','tsd','wdnsd','thrsd','frd','strd']

const weekPass = 'ABC_';

const day = (new Date()).getDay();

const pass = weekPass   suffixes[day];

console.log('Day index =',day, ', Passs =',pass )

Or just this

const currentPass = "aaa",
  weekDay = new Date().getDay(), // 0-6 (sun-mon)
  dayPass = currentPass   ['snd', 'mnd', 'tsd', 'wdnsd', 'thrsd', 'frd', 'strd'][weekDay];
  
  console.log(dayPass)

Considering what you wrote, the first step to get it working would be to fix the switch syntax and the assignment of currentPass like this:

var weekDay = 'Friday';
var currentPass = "this_week_password"; // this is the values they gave me
switch (weekDay) {
    case 'Monday':
        currentPass  = 'mnd';
            break;
    case 'Tuesday':
        currentPass  = 'tsd';
            break;
    case 'Wednesday':
        currentPass  = 'wdnsd';
            break;
    case 'Thursday':
        currentPass  = 'thrsd';
            break;    
    case 'Friday':
        currentPass  = 'frd';       
            break;
    case 'Saturday':
        currentPass  = 'strd';
            break;
    case 'Sunday':
        currentPass  = 'snd';
            break;
    }

console.log(currentPass)
