Hi everyone!

please , I have been on this question for two days now and yet to arrive…Please can anyone assist me?

my lines of codes below:

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;
}

let holdbet = "Hold";
if (count > 0) {
  holdbet = "Bet"
}

  return count + "" + holdbet;

Two issues:

  1. the switch case is case sensitif. check you JQKA spelling.

case “j”:

  1. Did you console.log ( ) out your expected before return? i see something fishy.
