How to write this window.history.go(-historyCount) correct

In a piece of code that I am writing, I need the user to go back in its history depending on the number of products there are in a shopping cart.

So I wrote this code:

var productCount = $('.rdsubs-cart-name').length;
var historyCount = productCount + 1;
console.log(historyCount);
$("a.btn-continue").click(function() {
  window.history.go(-historyCount);
});

But as I expected this part is written wrong. window.history.go(-historyCount);

I don't know the naming so it is really difficult for me to find something about it in Google. So I was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction!

Thanks!

Some More Info:

When there are 4 products in the cart and the user removes 1 product then it reloads the page. So when the user removes all 4 products it has also reloaded the page 4 times. So if the user clicks on continue shopping then it needs to go back into the history 5 pages. Otherwise, there would be an endless loop of reloading the shopping cart.

When I write window.history.go(-5); it works but when I write window.history.go(-historyCount); nothing happens.

The code was actually correctly written! The culprit was my browser. After opening another browser and going to the same page everything worked as expected. I am thankful for everyone helping out!
