EECS1015-Lab 4 Two Card Poker Game Solved

In this lab you are to write a simple two card poker game as follows: 

Each play of the game, the user will get two cards and the computer will get two cards. 

Cards are an integer value between 2-14, but are printed out as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A The winner of the game is based on the following rankings: 

Pair (2 cards of the same value) 

-  if both players have a pair, then the pair with the highest numerical value wins 

-  if only one player has a pair, then the pair wins 

Highest Cards 

-  if neither player has a pair, then the player with the highest card wins. 

-  if both players highest card is the same, then the winner goes to the player with the second highest card Tie: If both players have the exact same cards then no winner, it is a tie 

Example: 

[A] [A] beats [K] [K]  -- when both players have a pair, the highest pair wins 

[2] [2] beats [A] [K]  -- if only one player has a pair, the pair wins 

[A] [K] beats [A] [Q] – if neither has a pair, the highest card wins.  If both players have the same highest card, then the                                         2nd highest card wins (in this case, [K] (13) beats [Q] (12) ) [A] [2] beats [K] [Q] – Otherwise, the highest card wins. 

If both plays have the same card, then it is a tie (e.g., [J] [8] and [J] [8] is a tie) 

 

(1)              Write a function named drawcards() [no parameters] that generates two random cards represented as integers with values [2 to 14] inclusive.  Your function should return the two cards such that the first card is greater than or equal to the second card. 

For example, if random numbers are 2 and 13, then your function should return in the order 13 and 2. 

Please see notes on how to return two values with a function. 

 

(2)              Write a function named card2str() [one parameter] that will convert a card integer value to a string and return the string result.  Use the following conversion: 

Cards with values between 2-10 should be converted their string representation "2" – "10".   

Card value 11 is "J", value 12 is "Q", value 13 is "K" and value 14 is "A". 

For example, card2str(2) will return "2".  card2str(12) will return "Q" 

 

(3)              Write a function named printhand() [three parameters] that will print out the two cards as follows (depending on the player and their cards).   [A] [2] Your Cards 

[3] [3] Computer's Cards 

 

(4)              Write a function named printoutcome() [four parameters] that will print out if you win, lose, or tie.  This function should take four arguments (your 2 cards and the computer's 2 cards).  In my opinion, this is the most difficult function for lab 4.  Take care to get it work properly.  This functoin needs to compute the correct answer based on the ranking criteria above. 

(5)              You program should play one round of the game an then ask the user if you'd like to play again (Y/N).  If the user doesn't type in "N" or "n", keep playing the game. 

 

Note that you can have more functions that mentioned above, but we will be expecting to see: drawCards, card2str, printhand, printoutput
