I'm still stuck with this. It shuffles the cards, then replaces the letter representing the card (such as H = heart) with the word. Then it's meant to print the top five cards (meanign the five cards that come first after the shuffling). Somethign like:
9 Heart 10 Heart J Heart Queen Heart King Heart 6 Diamonds This script prints out a whole bunch of stuff. What is wrong with it? Snippet followds: (Thank you) #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my @startingdeck = ("A H","2 H","3 H","4 H","5 H","6 H","7 H","8 H", "9 H","10 H","J H","Q H","K H", "A D","2 D","3 D","4 D","5 D","6 D","7 D","8 D", "9 D","10 D","J D","Q D","K D", "A C","2 C","3 C","4 C","5 C","6 C","7 C","8 C", "9 C","10 C","J C","Q C","K C", "A S","2 S","3 S","4 S","5 S","6 S","7 S","8 S", "9 S","10 S","J S","Q S","K S"); foreach (@startingdeck) { s/A/Ace/; s/K/King/; s/C/Club/; s/H/Heart/; s/D/Diamond/; s/J/Jack/; s/Q/Queen/; s/S/Spade/; s/J/Joker/; } # your @startingdeck will be modified. for my $x (0 .. 99) { my @shuffle = ( shift(@startingdeck), pop(@startingdeck), shift(@startingdeck), pop(@startingdeck), shift(@startingdeck), pop(@startingdeck), shift(@startingdeck), pop(@startingdeck) ); push @startingdeck, @shuffle; print "@startingdeck[0 .. 4]\n"; }
