MATLAB QUESTION
The objective of this assignment is to create a program that will determine the probability that you will be dealt two aces (in texas holdem) in a deck of 52 cards. In other words, suits don't matter. You must create a function m file that runs a specified number of hands and returns the percent of hands that the player is dealt 2 aces. It should be "function PerTwoAces = ProbTwoAces(Nhands)".

Answer 1

function PerTwoAces = ProbTwoAces(Nhands)
% Matlab function ProbTwoAces.m : Function to calculate the probability
% of dealing two aces (in texas holdem) in a deck of 52 cards.
% create the deck of 52 cards, where contains 4 suits,
% each suit contains cards from 'Ace(1)' to 'King(13)'
% Here we represent Ace as 1, 2-10, Jack as 11, Queen as 12, King as 13
  
numTwoAces = 0; % count of two aces dealt in a hand
for i=1:Nhands
% create a new deck every time a new hand is dealt
deck = [(1:1:13),(1:1:13),(1:1:13),(1:1:13)];
count = 0; %count of aces present in the hand
% a hand consists of 5 cards, so deal a card 5 times
for j=1:5
% randomly deal a card from deck
ind = randi(length(deck),1,1);
% check if the card is an Ace, increment the count
if deck(ind) == 1
count = count + 1;
end
% remove the card from the deck
deck(ind) = [];
end
% if number of aces dealt >=2, then increment numTwoAces
if(count >= 2)
numTwoAces = numTwoAces + 1;
end
end
  
% if number of hands to be dealt > 0
if(Nhands > 0)
PerTwoAces = numTwoAces/Nhands;
else
PerTwoAces = 0;
end

end

%end of function

Output:
