second ever program - blackjack

[noobprogrammer123]

this is the second program i have ever made

[Tony]

ouch, I cry

well you're just starting programming... so I suppose you just don't know any better

but don't worry - soon you'll be able to rewrite blackjack to look better and be under 100 lines of code

Nice program. If its that big, why not bugproof it? like not allowing people to enter an character when betting.

Pretty good for second program. Try using less ifs, then it would be sweet.

[beedub]

maybe using a record so, u can add suits and other values. good try i guess

[the_short1]

yea... good for second program.... i woulkdn;t think a noob ** beginer programer... would attemp something like that... VDG...!!


btw...
beedub... both ur avatar and sig aint working..
PM me if u want me to host ur pictures at my server ***never fails..

nice work for a 2nd program lol better than my 2nd
4 bits for effort

You're working too hard.

code:

if userCardNum1 = 1 then         userCard1 := "A"     elsif userCardNum1 = 2 then         userCard1 := "2"         userCount1 := 2     elsif userCardNum1 = 3 then         userCard1 := "3"         userCount1 := 3     elsif userCardNum1 = 4 then         userCard1 := "4"         userCount1 := 4     elsif userCardNum1 = 5 then         userCard1 := "5"         userCount1 := 5     elsif userCardNum1 = 6 then         userCard1 := "6"         userCount1 := 6     elsif userCardNum1 = 7 then         userCard1 := "7"         userCount1 := 7     elsif userCardNum1 = 8 then         userCard1 := "8"         userCount1 := 8     elsif userCardNum1 = 9 then         userCard1 := "9"         userCount1 := 9     elsif userCardNum1 = 10 then         userCard1 := "10"         userCount1 := 10     elsif userCardNum1 = 11 then         userCard1 := "J"         userCount1 := 10     elsif userCardNum1 = 12 then         userCard1 := "Q"         userCount1 := 10     elsif userCardNum1 = 13 then         userCard1 := "K"         userCount1 := 10     end if

Can easily become:

code:

if userCardNum1 = 1 then         userCard1  := "A"     elsif userCardNum1 = 11 then         userCard1  := "J"         userCount1 := 10     elsif userCardNum1 = 12 then         userCard1  := "G"         userCount1 := 10     elsif userCardNum1 = 13 then         userCard1  := "K"         userCount1 := 10     else         userCard1  := intstr(userCardNum1)         userCount1 := userCardNum1     end if

Which would be even easier as a case construct, though I'm not entirely sure of the syntax for it in Turing.

code:

case userCardNum1 of    label 1:       userCard1  := "A"    label 11:       userCard1  := "J"       userCount1 := 10    label 12:       userCard1  := "G"       userCount1 := 10    label 13:       userCard1  := "K"       userCount1 := 10    else       userCard1  := intstr(userCardNum1)       userCount1 := userCardNum1 end case
