Deck of Cards Java Program

This is a menu-driven Java program that simulates a deck of 52 playing cards. The deck is made up of four suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades) and 13 ranks (Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, King). The program is divided into two classes: Card and Deck. Card represents an individual playing card and Deck represents a deck of cards.

2. Print Card - Allows the user to enter a card number (1-52) and displays the corresponding card.
3. Same Card - Allows the user to enter a card number (1-52) and displays all other cards in the same suit.
4. Compare Card - Allows the user to enter two card numbers (1-52) and displays whether they have the same rank or not.
5. Find Card - Allows the user to enter a rank (1-13) and a suit (1-4) and displays the first matching card in the deck.
6. Deal Card - Deals five random cards from the deck.

Implementation Details

The program implements the following methods in the Deck class:

• createDeck() - Creates a new deck of 52 cards.
• printDeck() - Prints the entire deck of cards.
• printCard(int cardIndex) - Prints the card at the specified index in the deck.
• sameCard(int cardIndex) - Prints all cards in the same suit as the card at the specified index in the deck.
• compareCard(int cardIndex1, int cardIndex2) - Prints whether the two cards at the specified indices in the deck have the same rank.
• findCard(int rank, int suit) - Prints the first card in the deck with the specified rank and suit.
• dealCard() - Deals five random cards from the deck.
• shuffleDeck() - Shuffles the deck randomly.

The Card class represents an individual playing card and contains the following properties:

• rank - The rank of the card (Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, King)
• suit - The suit of the card (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades)

Coding Guidelines

The program follows the following coding guidelines:

• Each method is separated into its own function.
• The program uses ArrayList to store the deck of cards.
• The program uses the Scanner class to read user input.
• The program includes comments to explain the logic of each matters.
