Still being rejected after rewriting code 4-5 times

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
for some reason my code is still being rejected even after using switch, if, and if else function.

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:
 return count+=1;
 break;
case 7:
case 8:
case 9:
 return count+=0;
 break;
case "10":
case "J":
case "Q":
case "K":
case "A":
 return count-=1;
 break;

} if (count > 0) {return count + "Bet";}
else {return count + "Hold";}

return "Change Me";
// Only change code above this line
}

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

one thing is that you should be changing the return statement that says return “Change Me”;

I don’t know that braces improve readability here. I personally have seen far more switches without braces than with. I think the ‘readability’ comes down to what is the predominant style in the codebase.

I will see what? Your style is perfectly fine, but it’s different that what people typically use, which makes it less readable unless you are working in a codebase where the extra braces are always added.

where should i remove the braces from the code?

13

i have removed that statement and the lesson still says my answer is incorrect

14

What does your code currently look like?

i figured it out I was missing a space in between the quotation marks in the Bet and Hold string. I originally had it like this “Bet” and “Hold” when it was supposed to be " Bet" and " Hold"
