Post subject:  Turing Black Jack help
I'm making a small black jack program in turing and i have it all done except i dont know how i would go about making it say the winner is whos ever closer to 21 without going over 21... like i wanna do
code:
if comp closer to 21 but not over 21 then
put "The computer wins"
elsif user closer to 21 but not over 21 then
put "You win"


idk what the code would be for "if comp closer to 21 but not over 21" and "if user closer to 21 but not over 21" Razz

I'm no expert but maybe you should try something like this

If User < Comp <= 21
Comp wins
Else if User <= 21
User Wins
Else
They both Bust

Obviously this is just pseudo-code.

yep thats the right idea
but be careful
u have to do something like
if comp > 21 then
put "comp lost"
return
end if
if user > 21 then
put "user lost"
else
if user > comp then
put "user win"
elsif user < comp then
put "user lost"
else put "tied"
end if
end if
lala wish u do a good job, I think u can simplify the code btw Very Happy

hmm if the user gets 25 then the comp gets 22 using that code then it says "user looses" because it was higher then 21 then it says "user wins" because the user had a higher number then the comp... Confused

hmm tried this too
code:

if usertotal < comptotal <= 21 then
        put "The Computer Wins"
    elsif usertotal <= 21 then
        put "You Win!"
    else
        put "Tie!"


but i get an error on this line
code:
if usertotal < comptotal <= 21 then

that says "Operands of comparison operators must be of same type" Razz

I believe like so...

code:
if usertotal < comptotal and comptotal <= 21 then


You can't do it all as 1 string comparison. Use 2 separate w/ an "and".

Either that or make sure both variables are stored as 'int'.

yay i did
code:
if usertotal < comptotal and
comptotal <= 21 then
and it worked Very Happy

thanks i think i got it working right now Very Happy


hmm what number should i make the computer stop asking to be hit at? at first i thought 18 that way it'd keep drawing until it got 18 or higher total but then i thought thats a bit high because if the comp had 17 it'd draw again when most ppl wouldnt then i thought of 16 but thought that might be too low because lots of ppl if they had 16 might take a chance and draw again so then i thought 17 but im not shure... what would be a good number for the comp to stop at?

no it wont because of it first check the comp if it got a higher number, and there is a else statement int eh user's code only when both the user and the computer are smaller or equal to 21 will the program compare each other/

EDIT: to make the program work perfectly delete the return

ssr: the dealer and the player cant both loose

DVL_IAC: it is the rules to make the dealer stop at 16 (just thought to explain to u wat Cervantes meant)

GJ DVL_IAC
anyway
why cant they both lose because the dealer has to stop at 16?
then they cant get 22 and a 25 right, 'caue both of them would be over 21 adn they both loses
anyway then put return in teh code.
but since u r finished

actually, no. the player goes through his hand first. so if the player busts, then the game is over and the dealer doesnt even have to go.
