Basic JavaScript: Multiple Identical Options in Switch Statements

Describe your problem and how to reproduce it: The example shows

switch(val) {
  case 1:
  case 2:
  case 3:
    result = "1, 2, or 3";
    break;
  case 4:
    result = "4 alone";
}

Should not have result should show return with the example this is in basic javascript, this could be confusing for the user new to javascript to think they should use result and not return for output.

I took a quick peek at those forum posts - the first one seems to come from trying to condense the case statements (which the tests ask specifically for 9 distinct statements). The rest come from following the example too closely and missing the change in variable names.

I do agree that these suggestions would alleviate that - but at the same time, we have a number of examples that do not directly match what the tests look for. And I fully support that, as it discourages blindly following the example and encourages the camper to think about how the example works.
