What am I missing/doing wrong?

I've gone over both videos about for-in loops and if statements and can't figure out why this won't work.

let months = [1, 2, 3]

for month in months {
    if month == 1 {
    print("January ")
    } else if month == 2 {
    print("February")
    } else month == 3 {
    print("March")
    }
}

Hello :

Your code is good, you are just missing one "if". 

let months = [1, 2, 3]

for month in months {
    if month == 1 {
        print("January ")
    } else if month == 2 {
        print("February")
    } else if month == 3 { // You were missing the word "if" here. 
        print("March")
    }
}

You can also approach it this way

let months = [1, 2, 3]

for month in months {
    if month == 1 {
        print("January ")
    } else if month == 2 {
        print("February")
    } else {  // Closing it with an else clause.
        print("March")
    }
}

But I recommend the first option.

Good luck

Ah I see, thank you. I thought the last one is just supposed to be "else" not "else if"
