Jgraspwrite A Class Named Card Which Can Be Used To Represent A Card

Write a class named Card, which can be used to represent a card from a deck of cards. The class should be able to store a card's suit and face value. A card's suit can be one of the following: Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades. A card's face value can be Ace, King, Queen, Jack, or a value in the range 2 through 10. Next, write a Deck class.

This class's constructor should create a list of 52 card objects, each representing a valid card in the deck. The class should have a shuffle method that randomly shuffles the Card objects in the list. It should also have a deal method that “deals” a card from the deck by removing the Card object at the beginning of the list and returning a reference to that object. Next, write a CardPlayer class.

The CardPlayer class should keep a list of Card objects that have been dealt to it, representing a hand of cards. This class should include an add method, which accepts a reference to a Card object and adds it to the list, and a showCards method that displays the card objects in the list. Demonstrate these classes in an application that creates a Deck object, shuffles the cards, deals five cards to a CardPlayer object, and then displays the five cards held by the CardPlayer.

Paper For Above instruction

The following Java implementation demonstrates the classes and the process described in the assignment. The classes include Card, Deck, and CardPlayer. The main method creates a deck, shuffles it, deals five cards to a player, and displays the player's cards.

Class Card

The Card class encapsulates the properties of a card, specifically its suit and face value. It provides methods to access these properties and to display the card as a string. The constructor initializes the card with specified suit and face value.

Class Deck

The Deck class maintains a list of 52 Card objects, initializing all combinations of suits and face values. It includes methods to shuffle the deck randomly, deal a card, and check if the deck is empty. The constructor populates the deck with all valid cards.

Class CardPlayer

The CardPlayer class contains a list to hold dealt cards, along with methods to add a card to the list and display all holdings. It models a hand of cards for a player in a card game.

Main Application

The main method demonstrates the functionality by creating a deck, shuffling it, dealing five cards, and then showing the dealt cards of the player.

Java Implementation

public class Card {


private String suit;


private String faceValue;


public Card(String suit, String faceValue) {


this.suit = suit;


this.faceValue = faceValue;


}


public String getSuit() {


return suit;


}


public String getFaceValue() {


return faceValue;


}


@Override


public String toString() {


return faceValue + " of " + suit;


}


}


import java.util.ArrayList;


import java.util.Collections;


import java.util.List;


public class Deck {


private List cards;


public Deck() {


String[] suits = {"Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", "Spades"};


String[] faceValues = {"Ace", "King", "Queen", "Jack",


"2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"};


cards = new ArrayList();


// Populate the deck with 52 unique cards


for (String suit : suits) {


for (String faceValue : faceValues) {


cards.add(new Card(suit, faceValue));


}


}


}


public void shuffle() {


Collections.shuffle(cards);


}


public Card deal() {


if (!cards.isEmpty()) {


return cards.remove(0);


} else {


return null; // No cards left to deal


}


}


public boolean isEmpty() {


return cards.isEmpty();


}


}


import java.util.ArrayList;


import java.util.List;


public class CardPlayer {


private List hand;


public CardPlayer() {


hand = new ArrayList();


}


// Add a card to the player's hand


public void add(Card card) {


if (card != null) {


hand.add(card);


}


}


// Display all cards in the player's hand


public void showCards() {


System.out.println("Player's cards:");


for (Card card : hand) {


System.out.println(card);


}


}


}


public class CardGameDemo {


public static void main(String[] args) {


// Create and shuffle deck


Deck deck = new Deck();


deck.shuffle();


// Create a player


CardPlayer player = new CardPlayer();


// Deal five cards to the player


for (int i = 0; i 

Card dealtCard = deck.deal();


player.add(dealtCard);


}


// Display player's hand


player.showCards();


}


}
