Hello there.

Do you have a question?

If so, please edit your post to include it in the Tell us what’s happening section.

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more information you give us, the more likely we are to be able to help.

I don’t think the instructions say to convert the count into a string. It has to stay a number.

#3

so, should i declare another variable to store these string?

#4

Not necessarily. What does the challenge ask you to return?

This is still overwriting the value of count with a string. That doesn’t fix the problem.

The function will then return a string with the current count and the string Bet if the count is positive, or Hold if the count is zero or negative. The current count and the player’s decision ( Bet or Hold ) should be separated by a single space.

Example Outputs: -3 Hold or 5 Bet

Your return values doesn’t look like the examples.

#8

yeah i know that
but what with these number values like “-3” , “5” , “0” prior to Hold , Bet

#9

That’s the count. The thing that you are clobbering and erasing by saving a string into that variable.

#10

oh now i got it
thanks
is it normal to be very dumb at times??:smiling_face_with_tear::smiling_face_with_tear::joy:

#11

Learning how to code takes time. That’s normal.
