Hello, I have an assignment for my summer class. FYI, I'm super new to
programming in general and this is my first time with java and it's a
summer class so it's going super fast (please be nice!) lol.
Basically I started writing my code in one class, then I split it up
into a Card class and a DeckOfCards class and I now need to figure out
how to get it all to work together. I get a little confused with
calling methods sometimes, especially when separate classes are in play.
I think I just need a method to deal out five cards that also tells
how many cards are left in the deck. Then get it all working together
correctly. Also, I need a toString method but I honestly do not know
how to go about that. Any help is greatly appreciated! If you could
help explain things too that would be awesome! I think I have
everything SO FAR correct but I could be wrong and I'm sure there are
better ways to write the code, I'll take any suggestions for a cleaner
look too. FYI, I think the prof would rather arrays then enums since
we're dealing with arrays right now.
Here are the directions...
Design and implement a class called Card that represents a standard
playing card. Each card has a suit and a face value. Then create a class
called DeckOfCards that stores 52 objects of the Card class. Include
methods to shuffle the deck, deal a card and report the number of cards
left in the deck. The shuffle methods should assume a full deck. Create
a driver class (CardsGame) with a main method that deals five cards from
the shuffled deck, printing each card as it is dealt. Make sure to write
the appropriate constructors, getters, setters, toString and other
methods as required for both classes.
The main class, CardsGame Class
import java.util.Scanner;
public class CardsGame {
public static void main (String [] args) {
}
}
Card Class
class Card {
public static final int SPADE = 4;
public static final int HEART = 3;
public static final int CLUB = 2;
public static final int DIAMOND = 1;
private int rank;
private int suit;
private static final String[] Suit = {"Hearts", "Clubs",
"Spades", "Diamonds"};
private static final String[] Rank = {"Ace", "2", "3", "4", "5",
"6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "Jack", "Queen", "King"};
private int cardSuit;
private int cardRank;
public Card(int suit, int rank) {
if (rank == 1)
cardRank = 14; // Give Ace the rank 14
else
cardRank = (int) rank;
cardSuit = (int) suit;
}
public int suit() {
return this.cardSuit;
}
public String suitStr() {
return(this.Suit[ this.cardSuit ]);
}
public int rank() {
return this.cardRank;
}
public String rankStr() {
return ( Rank[ cardRank ] );
}
public String toString() {
return ( Rank[ cardRank ] + Suit[ cardSuit ] );
}
}
DeckOfCards Class
class DeckOfCards {
public static final int NEWCARDS = 52;
private Card[] deckOfCards; // Contains all 52 cards
private int currentCard; // deal THIS card in deck
public DeckOfCards( ) {
deckOfCards = new Card[NEWCARDS];
int i = 0;
for ( int suit = Card.DIAMOND; suit <= Card.SPADE; suit++ )
for ( int rank = 1; rank <= 13; rank++ )
deckOfCards[i++] = new Card(suit, rank);
currentCard = 0;
}
//shuffle(n): shuffle the deck
public void shuffle(int n) {
int i, j, k;
for ( k = 0; k < n; k++ ) {
i = (int) ( NEWCARDS * Math.random() ); // Pick 2 random cards
j = (int) ( NEWCARDS * Math.random() ); // in the deck?
//swap these randomly picked cards
Card temp = deckOfCards[i];
deckOfCards[i] = deckOfCards[j];
deckOfCards[j] = temp;
}
currentCard = 0; // Reset current card to deal
}
}
