Question

Write a program that scores a blackjack hand. Â In

blackjack, a player receives from 2 to 5 cards. The player decides

how many, but hat has no effect on this problem. The cards 2

through 10 are scored as 2 through 10 points. The face cards

– jack, queen, and king are scored as 10 points.

The ace is either 1 or 11, whatever is better for the user. The

goal is to come as close to a score of 21 as possible without going

over 21. Hence, any score over 21 is called

“bustedâ€.  The user is

asked how many cards she/he has and the user responds with one of

the integers 2, 3, 4, or 5. Â The user is then asked for

the card values. Â Card values are 2 through 10, jack,

queen, king or ace. After reading the values the program should

convert them from character values to numeric card scores, taking

special care for aces. Â The output is either a number

between 2 and 21 (inclusive) or the word Busted. Â The

user will determine when to end the program.
