Answer 1

Considering the assignment, you should be storing true rather than false in the deck array. Moreover, I would make it a 2-D array of Booleans - a dimension for the suite, and a dimension for the rank.

private boolean deck[][] = new boolean[13][4];

public DeckOfCards() {
    for (int rank = 0 ; rank != 13 ; rank++)
        for (int suite = 0 ; suite != 4 ; suite++)
            deck[rank][suite] = true;
}

boolean containsCard(int rank, int suite) {
    return deck[rank][suite];
}
