Your code is really hard to read, you may want to use conventional formatting

then you need to take note that you are asked to update the global count variable, not create a new one

also take a note that you are always asked to increase or decrease it by 1 (or leave it unchanged), not update it to be card -1 or card + 1 or 5 Bet

and once you have changed count, you need to create the output of the function based on the current value of count

I have updated the code ,so far am I heading in the right direction?

I m just not sure if it is show on yoir side how gar I am.

It sounds like you are trying to hard code a returned result based on what is expected for specific values. But that’s not solving the problem in the general sense. What happens if the expected result is something different? Your code should be able to handle any test input.

Please try again.

Read the user stories again carefully and implement them in your code. Don’t code based on expected test results.

User stories 5-7 are telling you what to update count by for each card value.

If you need more help, please post your updated code.
