Counting Cards Error

Tell us what’s happening:
Why is this not working ? console says Cards Sequence 7, 8, 9 should return 0 Hold

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 7:
    case 8:
    case 9:
    count = count;
    break;
    case 10:
    case 'J':
    case 'Q':
    case 'K':
    case 'A':
    count--;
    break;
  }
  
 if (count < 0) {
   return count + " Hold";
 } else  {
   return (count + " Bet");
 }
  // Only change code above this line
}

// Add/remove calls to test your function.
// Note: Only the last will display
cc(2); cc(3); cc(7); cc('K'); cc('A');

Link to the challenge:
https://learn.freecodecamp.org/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/basic-javascript/counting-cards

the instructions say:
Hold if the count is zero or negative.

but your code give Bet for 0.
(check your if statement)
