Question

C++ programming: Card game

Can same one help me out with a example finsih and working programm ?

Program the basis for a card game (as a class card game):
● A card is represented by its suit/symbol (clubs, spades, hearts, diamonds) and a value (seven, eight, nine, ten, jack, queen, king, ace).
● A deck of cards consists of a pile of 32 cards that are completely connected to four players are distributed.
● Implement the following menu:
=== Card Game Menu ===
1 shuffle cards
Deal 2 cards
View 3 cards of a player
0 EXIT
Selection (0-3): _
● Explanation of the individual menu items:
1. shuffle cards: To do this, implement a shuffle method that uses the
Shuffles the cards. At the end, enter the control message "Cards ready
mixed!" on the screen.
Deal two cards: To do this, implement a method of dealing
the cards are completely distributed to the four players. At the end, deal the
Control message "Cards dealt!" on the screen.
3. view a player's cards: Implement another menu for this purpose,
with the help of which it is possible to select one of the four players and to
display maps on the screen. The output should only be made
if the cards have been distributed before (i.e. only if the last
menu item 2 and not menu item 1 was selected).
