Question

Hello, I need help in my 21 card game. I can't figure out how to read my player and dealer deck array until it hits a space and from there add up the score.

For example

Jack of Hearts => Jack

8 of Spades =>8

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Gamble
{
static Random generator = new Random();
static int userChoice;
static final int deckSize = 52, suitNum = 4, rankNum = 13;
public static String[] shuffledDeck = new String[deckSize];
public static String[] playerDeck = new String[10];
public static String[] dealerDeck = new String[10];
  
public static void main(String[] args)
{
info();
if (userChoice == 1)
{
game();
}
else if (userChoice == 2)
{
gameInfo();
}
else
{
//endGame;
}
}
  
//info method gives menu of game
public static int info()
{
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Welcome to Blackjack! Today is your lucky day" +
"becuase you get a free starting balance of $100." + " (1) Start (2)" +

Explanation / Answer

Add this code in your code for displaying user info and deck value

//for display player and deck
   public static void display()
   {
       If(strcmp(“Playername”,” ”)==0)
       {
          If(deckSize[]!=empty)
           {
  
               For(int i=0;i<deckSize[].legnth;i++)

               {
                   System.out.println(“ +username of +uservalue                        => + playerDeck[i]);
                   System.out.println(“ + dealersValue of +suit[]=>                    +ranks[]);

               }
           }
       }
