Build a Card Counting Assistant - Build a Card Counting Assistant

Tell us what’s happening:

I am finding it hard to understand the following:

  1. After the cards 7, 8, then calling cardCounter(9) should return the string 0 Hold.

  2. After the cards 10, “J”, “Q”, “K”, then calling cardCounter(“A”) should return the string -5 Hold.

  3. After the cards 3, 7, “Q”, 8, then calling cardCounter(“A”) should return the string -1 Hold.

  4. After the cards 3, 2, “A”, 10, then calling cardCounter(“K”) should return the string -1 Hold.

Your code so far

let count = 0;
function cardCounter(card){
  if (card === 2 || card === 3 || card === 4 || card === 5 | card === 6){
    count = count +1
  }else if (card === 7 || card === 8 || card === 9){
    count;
  }else if (card === 10 || card === "J" || card === "Q" || card === "K" || 
  card  === "A"){
    count = count -1
  }
  if (card > 0){
    return `${count} Bet`;
  }else if (card <= 0){
    return `${count} Hold`
  }

};

console.log(cardCounter(2));
console.log(cardCounter(3));
console.log(cardCounter(4));
console.log(cardCounter(5));
console.log(cardCounter(6));

Hi @Only1AGU,

Try replacing this bit with just else.

Happy coding!

Ohh… Thank you. I did that, and it worked.

But I still have this one unsolved.

”After the cards 7, 8, then calling cardCounter(9) should return the string 0 Hold.”

I don’t know where I am getting it wrong.

What is it that should be greater than 0?

Ohh, I got it now. Thank you.
