How to solve Error with switch Function

I am trying to create a function that gives me the month depending on the console.log info.

    function daysInMonth(month) {
  switch (month) {
    case '1': case '3': case '5': case '7': case '8': case '10': case '12':
      return '31';
    case '2':
      return '28';
    case '4': case '6': case '9': case '11':
      return '30';
    default:
      return 'You have to put a month from 1 to 12';
  }
}
var result = daysInMonth('1');
var result = daysInMonth('6');
var result = daysInMonth('2');

I am given some errors:

Log 31 30 28 function daysInMonth (month) function daysInMonth should be declared should return 31 when month is one of the following values: 1,3,5,7,8,10,12 function should return 31 when month is one of the following 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12 : expected 'You have to put a month from 1 to 12' to equal 31 Completed in 2ms should return 30 when month is one of the following values: 4, 6, 9, 11 function should return 30 when month is one of the following 4, 6, 9, 11 : expected 'You have to put a month from 1 to 12' to equal 30 should return 28 when month is 2 function should return 28 when month is 2 : expected 'You have to put a month from 1 to 12' to equal 28

This is what I was asked to do:

Implement the logic of the function named daysInMonth. The function receives one argument month, which is an integer (whole number) in the range from 1 to 12.

It should return a number of days depending on the month of the year, as per the given table:

----------------- ------------ | month | days | ----------------- ------------ | 1,3,5,7,8,10,12 | 31 | ----------------- ------------ | 4,6,9,11 | 30 | ----------------- ------------ | 2 | 28 | ----------------- ------------ Important: You must use the keyword return to return the value from the function. Tests can only check the output value that your function returns. Any console.log output will be ignored.

I made the changes with the return, as I was assuming I had to console.log everything. Still, errors occur. Can you please help?

Thanks!

If your tests are expecting the function to return something, your function should return the value instead of sending it to console.log.

function daysInMonth(month) {
  switch (month) {
    case '1': case '3': case '5': case '7': case '8': case '10': case '12':
      return '31';
    case '2':
      return '28';
    case '4': case '6': case '9': case '11':
      return '30';
    default:
      return 'You have to put a month from 1 to 12';
  }
}
var result = daysInMonth('2');
console.log(result === '28');
console.assert(result === '28', 'Expected days in month 2 to equal 28');

I was defining a string when I was supposed to define cases as integers. Re-read the request and got to that conclusion.
