Tell us what’s happening:

I cannot pass Test 6-10. Somehow I can’t manage to make the count – work? I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. There’s some comments in the code for further details. Can someone direct me to the proper lesson Theory please. Thanks

Your code so far

let count = 0;

function cardCounter(card) {
  if (typeof card === "number")
    if (card >= 2 && card <= 6) {
      count ++;
    }
    else if (card = 7, 8, 9) {
      ;
    }
    else if (card === 10) {
      count --;
    }
    
//can't get this to deduct for some reason
  else if (typeof card === "string") {
    if (card === "J" 
      || card === "Q" 
      || card === "K" 
      || card === "A")
      count --;
  }

/* I think I'm returning the wrong thing?
not sure what to do*/
  if (count > 0) {
    return `${count} Bet`;
  }
  else if (count <= 0) {
    return `${count} Hold`
  }  
}

console.log(cardCounter(10)); //logs 0 to console should be -1

Take a look at your if statements brackets, one of them might not have the proper block to encase your code.

After that, you might want to double check this else/if statement.

else if (card = 7, 8, 9) {
;
}

Thanks. I got it to work. I added a bracket where needed, and removed that statement entirely because it served no purpose.
