Counting Cards - What is wrong?

JavaScript
#1

Tell us what’s happening:

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('10'); cc('Q');

output:

‘’’// running tests

Cards Sequence 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 should return 5 Bet

Cards Sequence 7, 8, 9 should return 0 Hold

Cards Sequence 10, J, Q, K, A should return -5 Hold

Cards Sequence 3, 7, Q, 8, A should return -1 Hold

Cards Sequence 2, J, 9, 2, 7 should return 1 Bet

Cards Sequence 2, 2, 10 should return 1 Bet

Cards Sequence 3, 2, A, 10, K should return -1 Hold

// tests completed’’’

You are returning 5Bet

You are returning 0Hold

Using " " in addition to count and “string” did the trick.
Many thanks!
