Counting Cards- Help

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:
I literally copied the exact solution because I could not figure it out, but it will not let me continue and keeps returning incorrect.

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 10:
    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
}

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

The return value should have a space between the count and action.
When you concatenate 2 values, like the variable count and the string “Bet”, JS will literally mash them together into one string; it will not add a space between them unless you put it there.

I do have a space between count and Bet and Hold though. I have count + “Bet”; with a space between the count and plus and plus and "Bet.

space INSIDE the quotes.

Ohhhh. Thanks. Thats absurd to have to remember little things like that. It is only a space from the first quote too.
