You should use the prompt-sync library.

You are using the wrong type of quotation marks. Instead of “, you should use ".

Corrected code:

const prompt = require('prompt-sync')();
let activity = prompt("Enter the activity you are doing");
switch(activity) {
case "Get up":
console.log("It is 6:30AM");
break;
case "Breakfast":
console.log("It is 7:00AM");
break;
case "Drive to work":
console.log("It is 8:00AM");
break;
case "Lunch":
console.log("It is 12:00PM");
break;
case "Drive home":
console.log("It is 5:00PM");
break;
case "Dinner":
console.log("It is 6:30PM");
break;
}
