Hey, how are you all? I’m going through the JS course and in this exercise this solution is not working, but can’t understand why… Can you explain it to me please? // Only change code below this line if (card >= 2 || card <= 6) { count = count + 1 } else if (card >= 7 || card <= 9) { …

I know that I can use count++ or --, also I know that I just wasted time writing + 0, realize it later when I saw the solution haha

[image] agostinoJ: } else if (card >= 7 || card <= 9) { Can you provide a number that is not greater than or equal to 7 OR less than or equal to 9? Does 10 work there?

Even changing that mistake, is still wrong for something else that I cannot tell :smiling_face_with_tear:

How did you change the code? [image] agostinoJ: } else (count >= 1); { Else statements do not have conditions.

Just commented those lines, to ignore them. if (card >= 2 || card <= 6) { count = count + 1 /*} else if (card >= 7 || card <= 9) { count = count + 0*/ } else (card == 10, 'J', 'Q', 'K', 'A'); { count = count -1 }

[image] agostinoJ: } else (card == 10, 'J', 'Q', 'K', 'A'); { This has two issues else doesn’t take a condition that is not how you check for multiple values [image] agostinoJ: /*} else if (card >= 7 || card <= 9) { count = count + 0*/ This is not at all a valid fix

Gotcha, I’ll rewrite the else statements, but why not comment out some lines to try if the problem is there? How would you do it? It’s my first step in order to fix what’s wrong, comment sth out and see what happens

Bro I know the guide solution (not really official) has an if-else. I never said you couldn’t use an if-else for this problem, just that your if-else conditions were written incorrectly.

I thought you mean in general. Could be that ‘else’ doesn’t take but ‘else if’ does? Or I’m not understanding what you mean? Thanks for replaying tho [image] JeremyLT: else doesn’t take a condition

Bro, check this out in the official hint/solution there’s an else if condition… So now I’m even more confused than before hahah, I think I rather get poisoned by a snake
