POC++ Array numbers from the biggest to the smallest

copied!<p>i am a begginer programmer in c++. I found a very interesting exercise in an old c++ book, which doesn't have the solution for that exercise, so i hope you guys can help me:</p> <p>It wants me to create a deck of 52 cards, then shuffle the deck and deal the cards to 4 players: </p> <p>This is an example of the code: </p> <pre><code>cout << "Player 1: "; for (int j=0; j<13; j++) { card[j].display(); cout << ", "; } </code></pre> <blockquote> <p>Player 1: 8, 7, 3, 2, A, K, 5, 4, Q, 9, 3, A, 2 </p> </blockquote> <p>Now it wants me to array those numbers from the biggest to smallest: A, A, K, Q, 9 ,8, 7,5 ,4, 3, 3,2, 2</p> <p>After having done a research on the internet, i learnt how to find the biggest number of an array, but i still don't know how to array those numbers from the biggest to smallest. I am using GNU Compiler. </p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>For those who want to all the code, here it is:</p> <pre><code>#include <iostream> #include <conio.h> #include <cstdlib> #include <ctime> using namespace std; enum Suit {clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades}; class deck { private: int number; Suit suit; public: void setcards(int n, Suit s) { number = n; suit = s; } void display(); }; void deck::display() { if (number >= 2 && number <= 10) cout << number; else switch(number) { case 11: cout << "J"; break; case 12: cout << "Q"; break; case 13: cout << "K"; break; case 14: cout << "A"; break; } switch(suit) { case clubs: cout << static_cast <char> (5); break; case diamonds: cout << static_cast <char> (4); break; case hearts: cout << static_cast <char> (3); break; case spades: cout << static_cast <char> (6); break; } } class game { private: int j; enum {cardmax = 52}; deck card[cardmax]; public: game() { for (int j=0; j<cardmax; j++) { int num = (j % 13) + 2; Suit su = Suit(j / 13); card[j].setcards(num, su); } } void shuffle() { char ans; cout << "Would you like to shuffle the deck? (y/n): "; cin >> ans; if (ans == 'y') { srand(time(NULL)); for (j=0; j<cardmax; j++) { int k = rand() % 52; deck temp = card[j]; card[j] = card[k]; card[k] = temp; } } else if (ans =='n') deal(); } void deal(); }; void game::deal() { const char esc = 27; const char enter = '\r'; char ans; cout << "Press ESCAPE to exit the game or ENTER to deal: "; ans = getche(); if (ans == esc) exit(0); else if (ans == enter) { cout << "\n\nPlayer 1: "; for (j=0; j<13; j++) { card[j].display(); cout << ", "; } cout << "\nPlayer 2: "; for (j=13; j<26; j++) { card[j].display(); cout << ", "; } cout << "\nPlayer 3: "; for (j=26; j<39; j++) { card[j].display(); cout << ", "; } cout << "\nPlayer 4: "; for (j=39; j<52; j++) { card[j].display(); cout << ", "; } cout << endl; cout << "\nWould you like to deal again? (y/n): "; cin >> ans; if (ans == 'y') { shuffle(); deal(); } else if (ans == 'n') exit(0); } } int main() { game cards; cards.shuffle(); cards.deal(); } </code></pre>
