Basic JavaScript - Counting Cards

Been stuck on this for a while. I’ve been using switch statements but can’t tell where I’m going wrong. An extra set of eyes would be greatly appreciated!

  **Your code so far**
let count = 0;

function cc(card) {
// Only change code below this line
switch (card) {
case 2: 
case 3:
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
 count++;
break;
case 10:
case "J":
case "Q":
case "K":
case "A":
 count--;
break;
}
if (count > 0) {
return count + "Bet";
} else {
return count + "Hold";
}
// Only change code above this line
}

cc(2); cc(3); cc(7); cc('K'); cc('A');

Challenge: Basic JavaScript - Counting Cards

Link to the challenge:

Part of being a good coder is being a good debugger, which means being a good detective.

The first thing I’d want to see is what is getting returned.

console.log(cc(2))
console.log(cc(3))
console.log(cc(7))
console.log(cc('K'))
console.log(cc('A'))
