The commented code is considered for code validatation rather than just comment!

[Using Objects for lookup]

link for the challenge: https://www.freecodecamp.com/challenges/using-objects-for-lookups

Issue Description

In this challenge, I had to produce object version of switch statements. As I had to remember each ‘case’ member of switch to produce an object version, I had commented out the whole switch part and retyped the correct object version. Though, I haven’t able to pass the test. This is due to test check of You should not use case, switch, or if statements

During commenting out the switch, it should not validate the usage of switch and consider it just as a comment.

@Saif-Shines Yes, we are aware of this as an existing issue on the main website, and we do lack the infrastructure to have a strict parser if you may.

The only way currently would be to move forth by deleting the comments.
