Question

Objectives:

• Develop an object-oriented program
• Develop a test program that is separate from the class under development

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Define a class where one object of the class represents a playing card. If you are not familiar with a deck of playing cards, you will need to spend some time understanding the rank and suit that is on each playing card. You can look it up in wikipedia and see an image of the whole deck of 52 playing cards here:

But keep in mind that one object of your class will represent just ONE of these 52 playing cards. Your class should have the following methods:

__init__(self, rank, suit)

where rank is a number in the range 1-13 indicating the ranks Ace through King, and suit is a single character "d" "c", "h", or "s" indicating the suit (diamonds, clubs, hearts, or spades). This __init__() method initializes a single new Card object by storing the number for its rank, and storing the character for its suit in instance variables.

getRank(self)

Returns the rank of the card. This will be the number that the rank was initialized to when the Card object was created.

getSuit(self)

Returns the suit of the card. This will be the character that the suit was initialized to when the Card object was created.

bjValue(self)

Returns the blackjack value of a card. Ace has a blackjack value of 1, face cards all have a blackjack value of 10, all other cards have a blackjack value that is equal to their rank. The returned value from bjValue() must be a number.

__str__(self)

Returns a string that contains the name of the card. For example. "Ace of Spades".

You must also write a simple test program that proves that all the methods work on a few PlayingCard objects. Your test program might be in a different source code file or it might be in the same source code file as the definition of class Card.

Important Notes:

1) There are many poor solutions to this assignment found online. There is no excellent solution that you can find online. If you include code in your solution that you found online, you must put the URL in a comment that tells where that code came from (otherwise you will receive a 0 with no chance to resubmit.)

2) Class Card must have a comment that tells what one object of class Card represents.

3) Every method in class Card must have a comment that tells what the method does. For example, the comment must tell what the method returns, if anything.

4) A method named __str__() is special in Python. If asked to convert an object into a string, Python calls this method automatically to do the conversion.

Here is the start of a test program, but the test program you submit must test more PlayingCard objects to make sure that everything works:

c = Card(1, "s")
print (c)
print (c.getRank())
print (c.getSuit())
print (c.bjValue())

#### OUTPUT #####
Ace of Spades
1
s
1

Answer 1

thanks for the question, here is the full python class Card. All lines has comments so that you understand whats going on in each function.

Here is the code with screenshot

================================================================================

class Card():
   
    #rank takes a value from 1 to 13
    # suit takes a value either d or c or h or s
    def __init__(self,rank,suit):
        self.rank=rank
        self.suit=suit

    def getRank(self):return self.rank
    def getSuit(self):return self.suit
   
    #
    def bjValue(self):
        if self.rank==1:return 1 # for ace card we return the bj value as 1
        elif 2<=self.rank and self.rank<=10: return 10 # for cards from 2 to 10 we return 10
        else:return self.rank # for jack queen and king we return 11,12 and 13 respectively
   
    def __str__(self):
        # create a dictionary to map suit to its full name
        suits={'d':'Diamonds','h':'Hearts','c':'Clubs','s':'Spades'}
        # create a list of the rank names in the same order
        ranks=['Ace',2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,'Jack','Queen','King']
       
        return '{0} of {1}'.format(ranks[self.rank-1],suits.get(self.suit))


c=Card(1,'s')
print(c)
print(c.getRank())
print(c.getSuit())
print(c.bjValue())
