Counting Cards not working Feb.7th 2022

JavaScript
#1

I know I can try with Switch but idk why my if statement is failing

  **Your code so far**



let count = 0;

function cc(card) {
  // Only change code below this line
  if (card == 2 || card == 3 || card == 4 || card == 5 || card == 6) {
    count += 1;
  } else if (card == 7 || card == 8 || card == 9) {
    count += 0;
  } else if (card == 10 || card == "J" || card == "Q" || card == "K" || card == "A") {
    count -= 1;
  } if (count > 0) {
    return count + "Bet";
  } else {
    return count + "Hold";
  };
  // Only change code above this line
}

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

Welcome there,

To help debug, I suggest adding the following line somewhere in your code:

console.log(cc("A"));

Then, look at the output, and compare that to one of the expected outputs shown in the tests.

Click for hint:

Remember, programming is completely specific - case and space sensitive

Hope this helps

Thanks for the tip. I think I kind of figured the problem now. My code only goes thru the first number in card sequence. I need to look into that.

No. The function is only called on one card at a time. That is the way it’s designed.

You should look at the string that your function returns.

Ahh, " " matters :slight_smile:
Well I thought the card was a sequence of numbers or strings then the function gives you a count plus either hold or bet.
