The function is not returning the correct values. Can you figure out why?
def get_planet_name(id):
# This doesn't work; Fix it!
name=""
switch id:
case 1: name = "Mercury"
case 2: name = "Venus"
case 3: name = "Earth"
case 4: name = "Mars"
case 5: name = "Jupiter"
case 6: name = "Saturn"
case 7: name = "Uranus"
case 8: name = "Neptune"
return name
Example
get_planet_name(3)
# should return 'Earth'
Tests
get_planet_name(3)
get_planet_name(8)
get_planet_name(1)
get_planet_name(5)
Good luck!

Because the interpreter is not helpful.
Try Elm, the compiler is nice.
Same as #233
No break statement
It will always give "Neptune" as answer because there is no break statement.
Fallthrough switches are second only to null values as far as bad programming language ideas go.
I don't know Python but as a JavaScript developer I also thought about lack of break statements in this code.
