Question

I am writing a very simplified version of a blackjack game. The only thing I want this program to do is ask the user to hit or stand (after letting them know what the current total is) and then take that number and compare it to the computer's number. To make it a challenging game to win I need the computer's score to be a random number between 16 and 23 (22 and 23 would cause the computer to lose.) I also need help writing a method that automatically makes the user lose if they go over 21. The first number is between 1 and 11 (to account for an Ace) and the second number is between 1 and 10. Below is my current code with comments on what I still need help with. This is also a server and client game so something might need to be added to both sides. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
