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 ++;
            break;
        // case 7:
        // case 8:
        // case 9:
        //     count += 0;
        //     break;
        case 10:
        case 'J':
        case 'Q':
        case 'K':
        case 'A':
            count --;
            break;
    }
    if (count < 0){
      return count + " Hold";
    } else {
      return count + " Bet";
    }
  // 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');

Just to let you know that i was able to find solution to the problem, it was from from the if statement, instead of setting count > 0 it was set the other way round. Thanks for ur time once again.
