Hello:

When using cases in a switch statement you have to put the colons after the values.

switch days {

case "Monday", "Tuesday" , "Wednesday" , "Thursday" , "Friday": // colon placement 
        return "It's a weekday"

case "Saturday", "Sunday":
       return "Yay ! it's the weekend"

}

// No
case: "Monday"

// Yes
case "Monday":

Good luck

Kolya Masayev, the videos are fine I just double checked. It shows the proper placement of the colons. But these small mistakes happen a lot.

Happy Coding my friend
