method in a method

Is it possible to call a method inside another method?

I'm making a black jack game and i have one method to choose my card another one to tell them what card they have.

My program looks something like this. Only the methods are shown.

code:

public class blackJack {

public blackJack() {}

public int pickCard() {

// stuff in here

}

public void cardInfo() {

// info about cards goes on here with JOptionPane

// check if pickCard is an ace
// if it is then it asks user to pick 1 or 11
// should change the card variable to 1 or 11

}

public static void main (String[] args) {

// more stuff

}

}

Don't worry i have all my variables and stuff set. But im wondering if my card variable (the one i use for storing the number of the random chosen card) should be in the pickCard method or above it.

Please help

You'll most likely want the card to be represented by an instance variable.

code:

// Note: in Java, class names begin with a capital letter
public class BlackJack {
public class Card {
public static final int HEART = 1;
public static final int DIAMOND = 2;
public static final int SPADE = 3;
public static final int CLUB = 4;

public static final int ACE = 1;
public static final int JACK = 10;
public static final int QUEEN = 11;
public static final int KING = 12;

private int suit;
private int value;

public Card(int suit, int card) {
this.suit = suit;
this.value = value;
}

public int getSuit() {
return suit;
}

public int getValue() {
return value;
}
}

public class Hand {
private Card[] cards;

public Hand() {
cards = new Card[5];
}
}

public class Game {
private Hand dealer;
private Hand player;

public Game() {
dealer = new Hand();
player = new Hand();
}

public Hand getDealer() {
return dealer;
}

public Hand getPlayer() {
return player;
}
}
}

Sort of like that. Smile

Yes it is... but as far as declaring one inside of another... I don't believe so
With your program there is no need to declare a method inside a method... it's useless... Have a nice day

Ok my black jack is all finished. I'm just gonna try to add some pictures and make it more interactive. Maybe even worthy of the web Laughing
