Counting Cards 12/1/2017

Tell us what’s happening:
I believe this should work but it’s not letting me pass. Help!

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":
      console--;
      break;
  }
  var move = "";
  if (count > 0){
    move = count + " Bet";
  }
  else{
    move = count + " Hold";
  }
  return move;
  // Only change code above this line
}

// Add/remove calls to test your function.
// Note: Only the last will display
cc(10); cc("J"); cc("Q"); cc("K"); cc("A");

You’re decrementing the wrong variable.

Off-topic, but when I saw your code I couldn’t help but try running 1 + console--;. It turned the console object into a number, and console.log doesn’t work anymore!

SMH that was silly. Thanks!
