Switch statements

I see that the java script course here didn't mention switch, so it`s not recommended to use it ?

It is good practice to use them, particularly when you otherwise would be using be using more than 3 or 4 else if blocks. It's pretty much personal preference though. I really do think they're well worth knowing.

My advice would be if you're using 3 or more else if blocks you would consider using a Switch block.
