Hi ,

Please find the code -

$Month = Read-Host "What month were you born in? Input a number 1-12"
switch($Month)
{
        1 {"You were born in: January"}
    2 {"You were born in: Febuary"}
    3 {"You were born in: March"}
    4 {"You were born in: April"}
    5 {"You were born in: May"}
        6 {"You were born in: June"}
        7 {"You were born in: July"}
        8 {"You were born in: August"}
        9 {"You were born in: September"}
        10 {"You were born in: October"}
        11 {"You were born in: November"}
        12 {"You were born in: December"}
        Default {
        "There are only 12 months in the calendar....please choose between 1-12"
    }
