Counting Cards: Why isn't it passing?

JavaScript
1 
let count = 0;

function cc(card) {

  // Only change code below this lin

  if ( card >= 2 && card <= 6) { 

    count++

  } else if (card >= 7 && card <= 9) { 

    count += count;

  } else { 

    count--

  }

 

  let result = '';

  if (count > 0) {

    result = 'Bet';

  } else { 

    result = 'Hold'

  }

  return `${count} ${result}`

  // Only change code above this line

}

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

can you repeat how count have to change for each card, and point out how you are doing that in your code?

If positive increment count
If 7, 8, 9 do nothing
If negative decrement count

Its really best if you provide the link to the challenge you are working on and a brief description of where you are stuck in the body of your post.

This is the error I’m getting.

Cards Sequence 3, 7, Q, 8, A should return the string -1 Hold
Cards Sequence 2, J, 9, 2, 7 should return the string 1 Bet

Have you double checked what happens when the card is 7, 8, or 9?
