Tell us what’s happening:
either solution is not working

Your code so far

function cc(card) {
  // Only change code below this line
  var regex = /[JQKA]/;
  if (card > 1 && card < 7){card++;}
  else if (card ==10 || String(card).match(regex)){count--;}
  if(card > 0) return count + "Bet";
  return count + "Hold";
  // Only change code above this line
}

// Add/remove calls to test your function.
// Note: Only the last will display
cc(2); cc(3); cc(7); cc('K'); cc('A');




function cc(card) {

  if(card > 0) return count + "Bet";

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make easier to read.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Note: Backticks are not single quotes.

you are checking if the card is bigger than 0 - but is the card that you need to check to know what to return? maybe reread the challenge instructions

also, you are missing a space, you are returning 5Bet instead of 5 Bet

You are also incrementing card in the first if statement.

I know the code formating is from the guide, but I would not suggest formating if/else if statements like that. The formating is fixed in the guides on the forum.
