Tell us what’s happening:
I’m getting a syntx error message for 30:38 which is not part of the portion I am inputting. I have checked my code many times and it looks right to me.
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 += 1;
break;
case 7:
case 8:
case 9:
count += 0;
break;
case "J":
case "Q":
case "K":
case "A":
count -= 1;
return count + (count > 0 ? "Bet" : "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');

Could it be that you aren’t defining count anywhere? The other potential issue might be with this line
count + (count > 0 ? "Bet" : "Hold");
The part in the parenthesis is not going to evaluate to a number, I don’t think you can add that to the count.
When I return count > 0 ? "Bet" : "Hold" without the count + the code runs for me.
I’m looking at it. I will get back to you. I checked it against someone else’s on Youtube and it worked them them using count + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgs06k00YIE
Lisa, I took off “count +” and it still doesn’t work. What I have is
return (count > 0 ? "Bet" : "Hold");
I just ran it with the count + part and it worked. What is the error you’re seeing?
SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token (30:38)
It refers to the last line which is the numbers to be run. It seems there is a problem with the semicolon on the end. I didn’t touch that line.
Are you closing both the switch statement and the function with }?
return (count > 0 ? “Bet” : “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’);
Would you mind sharing in a codepen? The code is running for me, I don’t see the error.
no problem. I’ll copying and paste to codepen
It’s compiling but showing me an ( undefined. I’ll check to see if I’m missing one of those but if it worked for you it should work for me. Just a second.
This looks like a different pen
I can’t see but one line. I will try it again.
The pen I see when I click the link is called “navigationbar”
I cleared out that code for HTML and CSS and input the Java Script. Is that wrong?
It should update. Did you save it?
