What circumstances would you have a card of length 1? A card in this case is always a rank + a symbol

Thanks for pointing that. I checked that if the card is a single character (length 1) for example, "A" it returns 10 which is not true , because this line ( let rank = card.length === 1 ? card: card.slice(0, -1); ) is handling the case where the card is only one character long, Instead of the card should always include both the rank and the suit.
i have updated the function.

Same comment I gave above - This is a king, but which king, hearts? spades?

When you have a long series of if checks like this, is there another conditional structure that might be more appropriate to use?

I have updated that one using switch case i thnk is more appropiate.

Could you simplify this final check?

Is there a way you could simplify this slice even more?
(Hint: You can achieve the same thing with only one argument to slice)

I was not really thinking about the card length - I was more thinking about the .slice function itself. Here you are passing 2 arguments, 0 and -1. Did you know you can call .slice with only a single argument?
