Javascript – Switch function – value between two numbers

I dont understand why my function doesnt take the value 70.

let test = (age) => {
  switch (age) {
    case (age > 65):
      console.log("High age")
      break
    default:
      console.log("Low age")
      break
  }
}

test(70)

    If there’re only two options then simply use if-else statement:

    let test = (age) => {
  if (age > 65) {
    console.log("High age");
  } else {
    console.log("Low age");
  }
}

test(70); //High age

    BTW The problem with your code is that boolean expressions like (age > 65) are evaluated to be either true or false, neither of which is equal to age itself.

    To use a switch statement, you could modify your code like this:

    let test = (age) => {
  switch (age) {
    case 65:
    case 66:
    case 67:
    case 68:
    case 69:
    case 70:
      console.log("High age");
      break;
    default:
      console.log("Low age");
      break;
  }
}

test(70);
