blackjack

I am working on a project to simulate the first deal in a game of blackjack. So far, the program creates two cards of random rank (ACE to KING) and random suit. I am struggling with created a switch table or if-else ladder assign the added value of the two cards as a variable score. The code below represents conceptually what I am trying to do, I just want to know how to make it simpler. Thanks! public int Score() { int score = 0; if (card1.rank() == TWO && card2.rank() == TWO){ score = 4; } else if (card1.rank() == THREE && card2.rank() == TWO){ score = 5; } else if (card1.rank() == FOUR &&

I am attempting to create an OOP friendly Java BlackJack game to progress my knowledge. I've hit a wall and I just don't know enough to see the problem. Was wondering if anyone could point out my problems. Additionally, after googling relevant topics about this I've found people time and time again saying using enums would be more beneficial, as a beginner would this be advised? Or should I stick with String arrays for the time being. Thank you. my code: public class BlackJack{ BlackJack() { Deck deck = new Deck(); deck.createDeck(); System.out.println(deck.deckList); } public static void main

Well i've seen this error occur to others aswell but i can't figure out were my mistake is.

Having a look at related BlackJack questions, there is a confusion on what is better to use for the cards, either making an array of strings/items or integers. With my BlackJack game Aces are 11 only and 10, J, Q and K are all value 10, doesn't matter of the suit. What would make it easier for me to code the cards with, strings or integers? Visual Studio C# 2010, Windows form application A Card is an object, so make it its own class. An enum of Suit (Heart, Diamond, Club, Spade) and an enum for Rank (Ace, Jack, 10, etc., ordered accordingly for ease of comparison) should be used. You can

This question already has an answer here: Create ArrayList from array 35 answers I'm having a lot of trouble turning an array into an ArrayList in Java. This is my array right now: Card[] hand = new Card[2]; "hand" holds an array of "Cards". How this would look like as an ArrayList ? twain249 As an ArrayList that line would be import java.util.ArrayList; ... ArrayList<Card> hand = new ArrayList<Card>(); To use the ArrayList you have do hand.get(i); //gets the element at position i hand.add(obj); //adds the obj to the end of the list hand.remove(i); //removes the element at position i hand.add

My kiddo had a homework assignment to write Blackjack in Java. I helped him a little but for the most part he did it all himself and it actually plays pretty well. He even caught an error I didn't see in how it was calculating hand values. However, there is a snag that he hasn't dealt with and every solution I can think of is really complicated and way beyond what he's going to be able to easily code up with his still rudimentary Java skills. The Ace. In fact, not just one Ace, there's four of them and you could possibly get all four of them in a single hand. How do you elegantly deal with
