  1. PONeed help getting int from array
    text
    copied!<p>I've got a war card game. Both users draw 1 card each which will be compared against each other to see who has the higher hand. I have most of the program done but I can't figure out how to get the card value over to WarUI. Every time I use my get method it displays a 1 so I must be doing something wrong. The array numbers is int value between 1-13 and I use an if statement to change 1 to ace, 11 to jack, ect. I'm having trouble with getValue() in card class. How do I go about this?</p> <p>Edit: How do I get the user card value's so that I can compare them against each other?</p> <pre><code>import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Random; public class Card { String finalCard = ""; int suit, number,number2; static String [] suits = {"Heart" , "Diamond" , "Spade" , "Club"}; //suits //static String [] numbers2 = { "Ace", "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "Jack" , "Queen" , "King" }; //card values static int [] numbers = { 1, 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 }; //card values String card = ""; public Card() { } public Card(int suits, int numbers) { suit = suits; number = numbers; } public int getValue() { // cant get this to work int well = numbers[number]; return well; } public int getSuit() { return suit; } public String toString() { String fakeValue = ""; if (numbers[number] == 1) { fakeValue = "Ace"; } else if (numbers[number] == 11) { fakeValue = "Jack"; } else if (numbers[number] == 12) { fakeValue = "Queen"; } else if (numbers[number] == 13) { fakeValue = "King"; } else fakeValue = Integer.toString(numbers[number]); String finalCard = fakeValue + " of " + suits[suit]; return finalCard; } } import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Random; public class FullDeck { private ArrayList&lt;Card&gt; cards = new ArrayList&lt;Card&gt;();//card array list public FullDeck() { for(int a =0; a&lt;=3; a++) //loops through suits { for(int b =0; b&lt;=12;b++) //loops through values { cards.add(new Card(a,b)); //creates adds cards to list } } } public Card drawRandomCard() { Random generator = new Random(); //picks random card int index = generator.nextInt(cards.size()); return cards.remove(index); //removes card from list } public String toString() { String result = "Cards remaining in deck: " + cards; //not currently used return result; } } import java.applet.Applet; import java.awt.Container; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import java.util.Scanner; import javax.swing.*; public class WarUI extends JApplet implements ActionListener { JTextArea displayLabel = new JTextArea(""); //sets label to display message JTextArea displayLabel2 = new JTextArea(""); //sets label to display message JButton runButton = new JButton("Run"); //button that starts program Container con = getContentPane(); //gets container Card player1; Card player2; FullDeck hand1 = new FullDeck(); Card card = new Card(); public void init() { con.setLayout(new FlowLayout());//sets flowlayout con.add(new JLabel()); //jlabel container con.add(runButton); //run button container con.add(displayLabel); //display label container con.add(displayLabel2); //display label container runButton.addActionListener(this);//looks to see if run is clicked } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { for (int i = 0; i &lt; 1; i++) { player1= hand1.drawRandomCard(); //draws cards for player 1 player1.toString(); } for (int i = 0; i &lt; 1; i++) { player2= hand1.drawRandomCard(); //draws cards for player 2 player2.toString(); } displayLabel.setText(player1.toString() + "\n" + player2.toString()+ card.getValue()); //displays both players values/suits } } </code></pre>
