Tell us what’s happening:

  1. After the cards 2, “J”, 9, 2, then calling cardCounter(7) should return the string 1 Bet.

Unable to get through to this step.

Your code so far

let count=0;
 function cardCounter(card)
 {
  if(card === 2 || card === 3 || card === 4 || card === 5 || card === 6)
   {
       count ++;
   }
   else if (card === 7 || card === 8 || card === 9 ) {
     count =0; 
}
   
    else if(card==10|| card=="J"|| card=="Q"|| card=="K"|| card=="A")
   {
       count--;
   }
 
  if (count > 0) {
    return `${count}` +  " Bet";
  } else if (count <= 0){
    return `${count}` + " Hold";
  }
}

console.log(cardCounter(2));
console.log(cardCounter(3));
console.log(cardCounter(4));
console.log(cardCounter(5));
console.log(cardCounter(6));
console.log(cardCounter(7));
console.log(cardCounter(8));
console.log(cardCounter(9));
console.log(cardCounter(10));
console.log(cardCounter("J"));
console.log(cardCounter("Q"));
console.log(cardCounter("K"));
console.log(cardCounter("A"));
console.log(cardCounter(3));
console.log(cardCounter(7));
console.log(cardCounter("Q"));
console.log(cardCounter(8));
console.log(cardCounter("A"));

console.log(cardCounter(2));
console.log(cardCounter("J"));
console.log(cardCounter(9));
console.log(cardCounter(2));
console.log(cardCounter(7));

  1. The global count variable should remain unchanged for the cards 7, 8, 9.

Is your code meeting this requirement?

i don’t understand why you repeated the declaring of parameter, ahh like the way you did it isnt it just repeating your code

console.log(cardCounter(2));
console.log(cardCounter(3));
console.log(cardCounter(4));
console.log(cardCounter(5));
console.log(cardCounter(6));
console.log(cardCounter(7));
console.log(cardCounter(8));
console.log(cardCounter(9));
console.log(cardCounter(10));
console.log(cardCounter(“J”));
console.log(cardCounter(“Q”));
console.log(cardCounter(“K”));
console.log(cardCounter(“A”));
console.log(cardCounter(3));
console.log(cardCounter(7));
console.log(cardCounter(“Q”));
console.log(cardCounter(8));
console.log(cardCounter(“A”));

console.log(cardCounter(2));
console.log(cardCounter(“J”));
console.log(cardCounter(9));
console.log(cardCounter(2));
console.log(cardCounter(7));
