Deck of cards JAVA

Question

I have created my deck of cards that deals every card and a suit until there is no card remaining  For my project  I need to split it up into 3 classes which includes a driver class  I first created one class with everything so I knew how to make it all work   public class DeckOfCards2     public static void main String   args        int   deck   new int 52       String   suits     Spades    Hearts    Diamonds    Clubs        String   ranks     Ace    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10    Jack    Queen    King            Initialize cards     for  int i   0  i  lt  deck length  i            deck i    i                Shuffle the cards     for  int i   0  i  lt  deck length  i            int index    int  Math random     deck length         int temp   deck i         deck i    deck index         deck index    temp                Display the all the cards     for  int i   0  i  lt  52  i            String suit   suits deck i    13         String rank   ranks deck i    13         System out println  rank     of     suit                 Now trying to split it up into 3 classes  I am getting red sqiggle lines on ALL my deck suit variables on my DeckOfCards class  I dont know how to fix it   public class DeckOfCards     private Card theCard    private int remainingCards   52     DeckOfCards         theCard   new Card              public void shuffle        for  int i   0  i  lt  deck length  i             int index    int  Math random   deck length          int temp   deck i          deck i    deck index          deck index    temp         remainingCards--                public void deal        for  int i   0  i  lt  52  i             String suit   suits deck i    13          String rank   ranks deck i    13          System out println  rank     of     suit          System out println  Remaining cards      remainingCards                   Card class   public class Card     int   deck   new int 52     String   suits     Spades    Hearts    Diamonds    Clubs      String   ranks     Ace    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10    Jack    Queen    King       Card         for  int i   0  i  lt  deck length  i            deck i    i                Dealer class  public class Dealer     public static void main String  args       System out println  The deck will randomly print out a card from a full deck each time         DeckOfCards player   new DeckOfCards        player deal

First you have an architectural issue with your classes. You moved the property deck inside your class Card. But of couse it is a property of the card deck and thus has to be inside class DeckOfCards. The initialization loop should then not be in the constructor of Card but of your deck class. Moreover, the deck is an array of int at the moment but should be an array of Cards.

Second, inside method Deal you should refer to suits as Card.suits and make this member static final. Same for ranks.

And last, please stick to naming conventions. Method names are always starting with a lower case letter, i.e. shuffle instead of Shuffle.

I think the solution is just as simple as this   Card temp   deck cardAindex   deck cardAIndex  deck cardBIndex    deck cardBIndex  temp

There is a lot of error in your program    Calculation of index  I think it should be Math random   deck length In the display of card  According to me  you should make a class of card which has rank suit and make the array of that class type   If you want I can give you the Complete structure of that but it is better if u make it by yourself

Here is some code  It uses 2 classes  Card java and Deck java  to accomplish this issue  and to top it off it auto sorts it for you when you create the deck object      import java util     public class deck2       ArrayList lt Card gt  cards   new ArrayList lt Card gt          String   values     A   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   J   Q   K        String   suit     Club    Spade    Diamond    Heart         static boolean firstThread   true      public deck2            for  int i   0  i lt suit length  i                  for int j 0  j lt values length  j                     this cards add new Card suit i  values j                                       shuffle the deck when its created         Collections shuffle this cards               public ArrayList lt Card gt  getDeck            return cards             public static void main String   args           deck2 deck   new deck2               print out the deck          System out println deck getDeck                  separate class  public class Card         private String suit      private String value        public Card String suit  String value           this suit   suit          this value   value            public Card         public String getSuit            return suit            public void setSuit String suit           this suit   suit            public String getValue            return value            public void setValue String value           this value   value             public String toString            return   n  value     of    suit

There are many errors in your code  for example you are not really calling your deck by just typing deck in your Shuffle method  You can only call it by typing theCard deck  I have changed your shuffle method   public void Shuffle        for  int i   0  i  lt  theCard deck length  i              int index    int  Math random   theCard deck length            int temp   theCard deck i           theCard deck i    theCard deck index           theCard deck index    temp          remainingCards--            Also  as it is said you have structural problem  You should name classes as you understand in real life  for example  when you say card  it is only one card  when you say deck it is supposed to be 52 2 cards  In this way your code would be more understandable

As somebody else already said  your design is not very clear and Object Oriented   The most obvious error is that in your design a Card knows about a Deck of Cards  The Deck should know about cards and instantiate objects in its constructor  For Example   public class DeckOfCards       private Card cards         public DeckOfCards             this cards   new Card 52           for  int i   0  i  lt    i                  Card card   new Card         Instantiate a Card             this cards i    card    Adding card to the Deck                    Afterwards  if you want you can also extend Deck in order to build different Deck of Cards  for example with more than 52 cards  Jolly etc    For Example   public class SpecialDeck extends DeckOfCards             Another thing that I d change is the use of String arrays to represent suits and ranks  Since Java 1 5  the language supports Enumeration  which are perfect for this kind of problems  For Example    public enum Suits       SPADES       HEARTS       DIAMONDS      CLUBS        With Enum you get some benefits  for example   1  Enum is type-safe you can not assign anything else other than predefined Enum constants to an Enum variable  For Example  you could write your Card s constructor as following   public class Card       private Suits suit     private Ranks rank   public Card Suits suit  Ranks rank        this suit   suit      this rank   rank      This way you are sure to build consistent cards that accept only values   of your enumeration    2  You can use Enum in Java inside Switch statement like int or char primitive data type  here we have to say that since Java 1 7 switch statement is allowed also on String    3  Adding new constants on Enum in Java is easy and you can add new constants without breaking existing code   4  You can iterate through Enum  this can be very helpful when instantiating Cards  For Example      Creating all possible cards       for  Suits s   Suits values          for  Ranks r   Ranks values               Card c   new Card s r               In order to not invent again the wheel  I d also change the way you keep Cards from array to a Java Collection  this way you get a lot of powerful methods to work on your deck  but most important you can use the Java Collection s shuffle function to shuffle your Deck  For example   private List lt Card gt  cards   new ArrayList lt Card gt        Building the Deck            public void shuffle         Collections shuffle this cards

There is something wrong with your design  Try to make your classes represent real world things  For example    The class Card should represent one card  that is the nature of a  Card   The Card class does not need to know about Decks  The Deck class should contain 52 Card objects  plus jokers
