Driver Classes

Program Specification:

You are to write a Class Deck which emulates a full deck of playing cards. That is 4 suits (Clubs, Spades, Hearts, and Diamonds) and 13 ranks (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Jack, Queen, King) in each suit. This of course makes for a total of 52 playing cards in the deck.

Mandatory Instance variable:

private boolean[] deck = new boolean[52];

Mandatory Instance and Class methods:

public void initDeck()

// set the values of deck to indicate that they are all

// pressent - not delt yet.

public boolean emptyDeck()

// returns wheather or not all the cards in the deck

// have already been delt.

public int dealCard()

// returns a card (an int in the range 0 to 51) at random

// that has not been delt since the deck was initialize

// via intDeck. Also notes (in deck) that this card is

// no longer available.

public static String cardToString(int card)

// given a card (an int in the range 0 to 51) returns

// an appropriate String repressentation of this card

// based on a 1-1 and onto mapping of the set [0, 51]

// to the cards described above.

You are also to write a Driver Class DeckDriver to test your Deck class.

Mandatory Functionality:

Your driver class must minimally print all the cards in the deck in the random order that they are dealt.

Rules and Requirements:

All access to the instance variable(s) in your deck classes instance methods must be made via this.

Notes and Hint:

1. You should be able to re-use much of your methods code from Program 1 in writing your deck class.

2. You should be able to re-write your main method from Program 1 into your driver class with minimal modification / effort.

Lastly you are to write a second deck class SmartDeck which adds a second instance variable cardsDealt that at all times contains the number of cards dealt since that last call to initDeck()

Notes and Hint:

1. cardsDealt will need to be modified by initDeck(), and dealCard(), and will allow you to write emptyDeck() without the use of a loop.

2. Your DeckDriver class must also work identically whether myDeck is declared as Deck or SmartDeck.
