----------------------------------- Biohazzrd Wed Apr 05, 2006 6:09 pm help with my blackjack game ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Apr 05, 2006 6:18 pm ----------------------------------- 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 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 ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Apr 05, 2006 6:19 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Cervantes Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:35 pm ----------------------------------- 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. var cards : array 1 .. 52 of record value : int dealt : boolean end record Alternatively, you can make a Edit: spelling. ----------------------------------- TokenHerbz Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:43 pm ----------------------------------- 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: 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. ----------------------------------- Biohazzrd Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:51 pm ----------------------------------- thanks but i'm just wondering if this would

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. ----------------------------------- Biohazzrd Sun Apr 09, 2006 10:26 pm ----------------------------------- ok thanks and i have some hting else

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: for x:1..52 if dealtCard(x)=true then ... elsif dealtCard(x)=false then exit end if end for That's equivalent to the following: 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. ----------------------------------- Clayton Mon Apr 10, 2006 6:11 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Clayton Mon Apr 10, 2006 6:13 pm ----------------------------------- Is this some sort of joke?
