Your code so far

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--;
  }

          
          if(count>0){
           var holdset="bet";
          } else{
            holdset="hold";
          }
  
  return count+ " "+holdset;
  // Only change code above this line
}

// Add/remove calls to test your function.
// Note: Only the last will display

console.log(cc(2));

Hi there,

Your code is fine. Just remember to capitalise the holdset strings that you return eg. “bet” should be “Bet”.

The tests are fussy about capitalisation.

Hopefully that helps.

  • ‘hold’ is not same ‘Hold’, also ‘bet’ - ‘Bet’
  • what happen if count <= 0? holdset has not var, I think your if-else not safe if using use strict. Now, your code runs because of JS’s Hoisting but it shouldn’t.

you can shorten by:
return count + ' ' + count > 0 ? 'Bet' : 'Hold'
