Tell us what’s happening:

Hi everyone,

My code passes all tests except #1: “You should use let to declare a global variable named count and set it to 0.”

My code:

Your code so far

let count = 0;

function cardCounter(card) {
  
  if (card >= 2 && card <= 6) {
    count++;
  }
  
  else if (card === 10 || card === "J" || card === "Q" || card === "K" || card === "A") {
    count--;
  }
  // Neutral cards (7, 8, 9) do nothing
  // so no change to count

  
  let action = count > 0 ? "Bet" : "Hold";

  // Return the required string
  return `${count} ${action}`;
}

Welcome to the forum @deepshikha22

Your solution works from my end. Please try one of the following steps to move forward.

Click on the “Restart Step” button and force a refresh of your page with CTRL + F5 then try to paste the code in again.

or - Try the step in incognito or private mode.

or - Disable any/all extensions that interface with the freeCodeCamp website (such as Dark Mode, Ad Blockers, or Spellcheckers), and set your browser zoom level to 100%. Both of these factors can cause tests to fail erroneously.

or - Ensure your browser is up-to-date or try a different browser.

I hope one of these will work for you.

Happy coding
