    case 5:
    case 6:
      count++;

    case "J":
    case "Q":
    case "K":
    case "A":
      count--;
      break;
  }

if (count > 0){
  return count  +  "Bet";
}else {
  return count  +  "Hold";
}


  // Only change code above this line 


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++;
    break;
  case 10:
  case "J":
  case "Q":
  case "K":

What do the failing tests say? The thing that jumps out when I just look at your code without more information is that you don’t have any spaces in the string that you return.

The failing tests said that it should return 5 Bet etc. Thank you for yoyr time and I am sorry, I watched the video and I had to assign a variable holdbet. Now it works! Thank you!

You do not need to create an extra variable. You just need to make sure that the string you return is properly formatted.

You are not returning “5 Bet”. You would be returning “5Bet”.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions. Personally, I think learning how to ask questions about code is an important skill that is important to practice and get good at.
