--description--

if/else statements can be chained together for complex logic. Here is <dfn>pseudocode</dfn> of multiple chained if / else if statements:

js
if (condition1) {
  statement1
} else if (condition2) {
  statement2
} else if (condition3) {
  statement3
. . .
} else {
  statementN
}

--instructions--

Write chained if/else if statements to fulfill the following conditions:

num < 5 - return Tiny
num < 10 - return Small
num < 15 - return Medium
num < 20 - return Large
num >= 20 - return Huge

--hints--

You should have at least four else statements

js
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/else/g).length > 3);

You should have at least four if statements

js
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/if/g).length > 3);

You should have at least one return statement

js
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/return/g).length >= 1);

testSize(0) should return the string Tiny

js
assert(testSize(0) === 'Tiny');

testSize(4) should return the string Tiny

js
assert(testSize(4) === 'Tiny');

testSize(5) should return the string Small

js
assert(testSize(5) === 'Small');

testSize(8) should return the string Small

js
assert(testSize(8) === 'Small');

testSize(10) should return the string Medium

js
assert(testSize(10) === 'Medium');

testSize(14) should return the string Medium

js
assert(testSize(14) === 'Medium');

testSize(15) should return the string Large

js
assert(testSize(15) === 'Large');

testSize(17) should return the string Large

js
assert(testSize(17) === 'Large');

testSize(20) should return the string Huge

js
assert(testSize(20) === 'Huge');

testSize(25) should return the string Huge

js
assert(testSize(25) === 'Huge');

--seed--

--seed-contents--

js
function testSize(num) {
  // Only change code below this line


  return "Change Me";
  // Only change code above this line
}

testSize(7);

--solutions--

js
function testSize(num) {
  if (num < 5) {
    return "Tiny";
  } else if (num < 10) {
    return "Small";
  } else if (num < 15) {
    return "Medium";
  } else if (num < 20) {
    return "Large";
  } else {
    return "Huge";
  }
}
