Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
for some reason my code dosent seem to be working but as far as I’m sure it should be.
I made a list of the all the important values, and checked if the card was in those lists. Then checked the count to return advice on the cards. am I being silly?

Your code so far

let count = 0;

function cc(card) {
  // Only change code below this line
  const plusOne = [2,3,4,5,6];
  const minusOne = [10,'J','K','Q', 'K', 'A'];
  
  if (plusOne.includes(card)){
    count++;
  }
  else if (minusOne.includes(card)){
    count--;
  }

  if (count > 0){
    return count + "Bet";
  }
  else if(count <= 0){
    return count + "Hold";
  }
  
  // Only change code above this line
}

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

Add a console log to look at your return value. It’s missing one character.
