ok you know in blackjack ach card can only be dealt once but on the computr with random integers it picks the same one over and over. I know I need a boolean variable for each card do decide wether they have been use. But I don't know how to set it up to record that.

you could make a seperate array of booleans to match the one im assuming you are using for your cards, it could look something like this

code:

var cards:array 1..52 of int
var dealt:array 1..52 of boolean
for x:1..52
       dealt(x):= false
end for
%pick the card you deal
if dealt(card#dealt)=false then
%deal card
else
%pick another card
end if

oops got a little happy with the submit button, but anyways, use something like that and put it into your code and see if it works good luck

Arrgh! It's contagious!

Parallel arrays are not the way to go here. The next step up from parallel arrays is to use an array of a user defined data type. It's the same thing, in that you get both your int variable and your boolean variable, but the corresponding values are bound together. You don't have to trust that each of your two arrays stays in the same order for your data to be correct.

code:

var cards : array 1 .. 52 of
    record
        value : int
        dealt : boolean
    end record


Alternatively, you can make a stack of cards. Dealing them out is as simple as popping a card off the top of the stack. Doing so removes it from the stack.

Edit: spelling.

i like cervantes way, but if im sure this would work too :S

its more sloppy, and probable more confusing, but i want to post it anyways:

code:

var maxnum: int := 52    %%Enter here your max number
var number: int     %%This here is your number
var used: array 1 .. maxnum of boolean   %%this will tell you if the numbers used or not

for i : 1 .. maxnum  %%use a for statment to declare the array variable's
    used(i) := false        %%sets all the numbers NOT declared
end for
loop                    %%to keep the program going
    for i: 1 .. maxnum       %%use this for cause it holds the variables need'd (booleans)
        randint(number,1,maxnum)     %%randomizes your number
        if number = i then      %% if the random number = the one in the for
            if used(i) = false then     %%checks to see if the numbers been used
               put number, " " ..     %%puts the number
                used(i) := true     %%now marks the number as been used
            end if
        end if
    end for
end loop


i recommend doing it like cervantes said.

Oh my... You didn't.

How about replacing those 104 lines with 1:
code:
cardFind (cardDeal) := true

ok i only gave him the idea for parallel arrays because it seemed like a simpler idea for a newer person at Turing

so cervantes ur saying that if i replace the code i showed u with that one lime then when ever a card gets played its corresponding boolean will turn to true
Author:  [Gandalf] [ Sun Apr 09, 2006 10:10 pm ]
Post subject: 
Yes. Think about how the program would progress, step by step. If cardDeal is 4, then you want cardFind (4) to equal true. So therefore you need cardFind (cardDeal) to be true.

ok thanks

and i have some hting else that doesnt seem to work
code:
procedure cardCheck

this is supposed to make it hit until it picks a card that has not been played (or = true)

omg u didnt do that again, shorten it to something like this
code:

for x:1..52
     if dealtCard(x)=true then
          ...
     elsif dealtCard(x)=false then
          exit
     end if
end for

You know, that actually hurts, physically, when you use redundant code like that.

Like how it hurts, physically, when you redundantly punch someone in the face.

It's the same pain. Embarassed

Oh my... You didn't.

How about replacing those 104 lines with 1:
Code:
cardFind (cardDeal) := true

Is this some sort of joke? Should we move it to the Evidence forum? Really: I can understand how someone might start down that path, but I can't believe that someone would type out over a hundred lines of the same thing and not see a pattern.

Oh, and by the way:

That's equivalent to the following:
code:

for x : 1 .. 52
    if dealtCard (x) then
        ...
    else
        exit
    end if
end for

If it was not true when the initial condition was evaluated, it has to be false.

Biohazzard, the whole point we are trying to help you with is condensing your code. not only would your code have taken forever, but it is pointless, why hardcode everything when you can make something much more dynamic. if you are having trouble with condensing your code, look through the Turing Walkthrough to check some things out. remember, if you are copying or pasting more than 2 times(and only a couple lines of code), find a shorter way to code it.

ya ok i've learned i got like 300 lines into 16 lines it pulls out a random card, puts that random card if it hasent been played and adds the cards value to the player total
