Poker Hand
(final project)
Study and review the Case Study: Deck of Cards on page 256 which was presented in the class. Do not copy the code on page 257 you will be given a starting code that you can use. The first thing to do is you put your name and replace the string “YourNameHere”. A lot of declaration and initialization is done for you, then you add codes of your own to achieve the objective of the project. If you do not know the poker ranking study the ranking at the end of this assignment or go to https://www.cardplayer.com/rules-of-poker/hand-rankings . You do not shuffle the deck of card you are given the pre shuffle card sequence that you can copy from dataOf52NumbersH.txt. This is only an initial test data which does not include the royal flush and special straight flush. You must create others five cards sequence to test your program this is part of being a good programmer, to test all possible combination that you can think of.
Objective: Group the 52 cards into 10 groups of five cards to form a poker hand starting from index 0. (Hand # 1: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Hand #2: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) Display their card value like 5 of hearts, K of spades etc. which is easy almost given by following the book case study “Deck of Cards”. Then determine the poker hand ranking example Royal Flush, Two pair, Four of a kind, ….etc. see the sample report next page.
(Again you will NOT generate or shuffle the deck of card you are given the 52 numbers to represent the pre-shuffle deck of cards. You will read in the 52 numbers as you can see the first few lines of the given starter code.)
The given test data (52 numbers in dataOf52NumbersH.txt) was hand pick and include most of the ranking does not include Royal flush and the special straight flush. You must come up with your own test data to check all possible poker hand ranks.
I will use different set of 52 cards to grade you.
Next page is the required result you must produce.
