Tell us what’s happening:

Please, do your best explaination without giving me the answer. :slight_smile:

Your code so far


var count = 0;

function cc(card) {
// Only change code below this line
switch(card){
  case 2:
  case 3:
  case 4:
  case 5:
  case 6:
    count++, " Bet";     
    break;
  case 10:
  case 'J':
  case 'Q':
  case 'K':
  case 'A':
    count--, " Hold";
  default:
    count, " Hold";
}

return "Change Me";
// Only change code above this line
}

cc(2); cc(3); cc(7); cc('K'); cc('A');

Hello~!

Take a look at what your function returns. :slight_smile:

Also, this doesn’t seem like valid syntax. :slight_smile:

3

So I should change the “Change me” to whatever the count-- or count++ and Bet and Hold?

How do you return a number and a string together?

4

You have two options for that. You can use concatenation:

return variable + " some text here"

Or you can use ES6 template literals:

return `${variable} some text here`

Right. Thank you! Let me give it a try.
So, I’m going to need to have multiple if statements, right?

You could potentially write it with only one if statement.

Remember that return terminates the function - if you keep that in mind, it might help. :slight_smile:
