This is how I accomplished it. - Create 3 arrays: 1 with 52 slots (to hold all 52 cards in a deck) 2 arrays with 5 slots each that will determine the face and suit value of the 5 cards that you have been dealt. - Then, when initializing the array, use a random number generator to generate numbers in the range of 1 through 52. - How I categorized the cards is fairly simple. The values 1-13 represented all the Heart-suited cards, values 14-26 represented the Diamond-suited cards, 27-39 represented the Spade-suited cards, and final 40-52 values represented the Clubs. Each suit is assigned a value between the range of 1-4 (i.e. 1-hearts, 2-diamonds, etc), and each face value is assigned a value in the range of 1-13 (with 13 representing the King, 12 representing a Queen, etc). - From there, you must retrieve the face and suit values of the first 5 cards in the array i.e. a[0] , a[1], a[2], a[3], a[4]. Create public functions such as 'int getSuitValue(int x)' and 'int getFaceValue(int x) to retrieve these values. - Then for each of the 5 cards, the corresponding face values are inserted into one of the 5-slotted arrays (aptly named 'faceArray[5]') and the corresponding suit values are then dispersed into the other 5 slotted array (i.e 'suitValue[5]') - So when evaluating hands, one can only look in 1 of the 2 arrays. For example, if the first 5 cards in the 52 slotted array are 1,26, 52,13, and 40, the suitValue[5] array would contain the values{1,2,4,1,3). Likewise the faceValue[5] array would contain the values {Ace, King, King, King, King), which eventually would mean that the hand that you are currently holding is a four of a kind. For a three of a kind, one would only check in the faceValue array, and check to see if there is 3 and ONLY 3 values that match together. Information contained in the suited value is irrelevant(unless suits are used as a means of evaluating a hand) - It's best that you evaluate the best hand (Royal Flush) and eventually work your way down the ladder, by implementing if/else if branch statements. Royal Flush -> Straight Flush -> Four of a kind -> etc. - I might have the source code if you still need help. >-----------------------------------------~-~> CHECK THE ARCHIVE BEFORE POSTING!!!!
