// You can copy and paste the contents as the code for a new Lambda function, using the alexa-skill-kit-sdk-factskill template.
// This code includes helper functions for compatibility with versions of the SDK prior to 1.0.9, which includes the dialog directives.

The code was working initially, but after I made a couple of edits to the Lambda code, I was getting the same reply again and again, which made no sense. I think that the problem may lie in the fact that I added an extra value for the accidental value, and I added a natural value before rebuilding my Lambda code in the skillinator.io site. Any help would be much appreciated as I have been struggling with this code all day.
