174 CECS Project 8 - Due in lab on Tuesday, 12/9/03
Card games have been very popular applications to program. In this project you will continue your implementation of a very important part of the poker game. Specifically, in his project you will add to the program that you have done in Project 7 and determine what kind of a hand the input 5-card poker hand is, based on the definition given below. Poker Hand 1. Royal flush 2. Straight flush 3. Four of a kind 4. Full house 5. Flush 6. Straight 7. Three of a kind 8. Two pairs 9. One pair 10. Nothing Definition 10, J, Q, K, A all in the same suit. A straight all in the same suit that is not a royal flush. Four cards in the hand have the same face value. For example, 4 Threes and a Nine. Three cards of one face value and 2 cards of another face value. For example, 3 Jacks and 2 Eights. Five cards all in the same suit, but not a royal or straight flush. A straight that is not a royal or straight flush. Three cards of one face value, a 4th card of a second value, and a 5th card of a third value. Two cards of one face value, 2 more cards of a second value, and the remaining card a third value. Two cards of one face value, but not classified above. For example, 2 Kings, a Jack, a Nine, and a Six. None of the above.
A poker hand consists of 5 cards which may be one of 10 possible poker hands as defined below. A deck of cards has 4 suits (Spade, Heart, Diamond, and Club) and each suit has 13 possible face values (Ace, Two, Three, ..., Jack, Queen, and King). There are many ways that the face and suit values of a card may be represented. For this program, we shall use a pair of numeric values to represent a card (1 through 13 for the face value and 1 through 4 for the suit). Your program should prompt the user to enter 5 cards using 5 pairs of numeric values in the specified ranges, and then determine and output the kind of hand that the user input. Recall in Project 7, your program would have read in a 5 cards, record them in a 2-dimensional array and construct a row sums array and a column sums array. In this program you shall use these arrays to determine the kind of poker hand the 5 cards represent. When your program executes, it should produce output as in the following sample dialogue: Please enter a hand of 5 cards, using a pair of numbers for each card as follows: First enter 1, 2,..., 11, 12, or 13, for Ace, Two,..., Jack, Queen, King, respectively, enter then 1, 2, 3, or 4 for Spade, Heart, Diamond, Club, respectively. For example, enter 12 2 for a Queen of Hearts. 10 2 10 4 10 3 6 4 6 1

The input hand is a full house. _________________________________________________________________________________________ _ New features needed in Projects 7 & 8: Declare and use a 2-dimensional array. Pass a 2-dimensional array as a parameter in function call. You will again need to use 1-dimensional arrays and pass them as parameters. Use switch and break statements. _________________________________________________________________________________________ _ Requirements and recommendations: Perform the input in a function, and use a 2-dimensional array to record the input hand of 5 cards. Write a function for each of possible hands (except that for "Nothing") in the above definitions. Note that some functions may call other functions (e.g., the function that tests if a hand is a straight flush may call the function for straight and the function for flush, and the function that tests if a hand is a full house may call the function for three-of-a-kind and a pair.) Work with ONE function at a time. Use stubs for all other functions that have yet to be ...
