(Project: Card Shuffling and Dealing) Modify the program you developed in Exercise 9.26 so that it handles the dealer’s hand, but the player is allowed to decide which cards of the player’s hand to replace. The program should then evaluate both hands and determine who wins. Now use this new program to play 20 games against the computer. Who wins more games, you or the computer? Have one of your friends play 20 games against the computer. Who wins more games? Based on the results of these games, make appropriate modifications to refine your poker-playing program. Play 20 more games. Does your modified program play a better game?
Exercise 9.26
(Project: Card Shuffling and Dealing) Modify the program you developed in Exercise 9.25 so that it can simulate the dealer. The dealer’s five-card hand is dealt “face down” so the player cannot see it. The program should then evaluate the dealer’s hand, and, based on the quality of the hand, the dealer should draw one, two or three more cards to replace the corresponding number of unneeded cards in the original hand. The program should then reevaluate the dealer’s hand.
Exercise 9.25
(Project: Card Shuffling and Dealing) Use the functions from Exercise9.24 to write a program that deals two five-card poker hands, evaluates each hand and determines which is the better hand.
Exercise 9.24
(Card Shuffling and Dealing) Modify the program you developed in Exercise 9.23 so that it deals a five-card poker hand. Then write functions to accomplish each of the following:
a) Determine whether the hand contains a pair.
b) Determine whether the hand contains two pairs.
c) Determine whether the hand contains three of a kind (e.g., three jacks).
d) Determine whether the hand contains four of a kind (e.g., four aces).
e) Determine whether the hand contains a flush (i.e., all five cards of the same suit).
f) Determine whether the hand contains a straight (i.e., five cards of consecutive face values).
Exercise 9.23
(Card Shuffling and Dealing) Create a program to shuffle and deal a deck of cards. The program should consist of class Card, class Deck Of Cards and a driver program. Class Card should provide:
a) Data members face and suit of type int.
b) A constructor that receives two ints representing the face and suit and uses them to initialize the data members.
c) Two static arrays of strings representing the faces and suits.
d) A to String function that returns the Card as a string in the form “face of suit.” You can use the + operator to concatenate strings.
Class Deck of Cards should contain:
a) An array of Cards named deck to store the Cards.
b) An integer current Card representing the next card to deal.
c) A default constructor that initializes the Cards in the deck.
d) A shuffle function that shuffles the Cards in the deck. The shuffle algorithm should iterate through the array of Cards. For each Card, randomly select another Card in the deck and swap the two Cards.
e) A deal Card function that returns the next Card object from the deck.
f) A more Cards function that returns a bool value indicating whether there are more Cards to deal.
The driver program should create a DeckOfCards object, shuffle the cards, then deal the 52 cards.
