    <p>I'm trying to solve a problem where I try to reset my deck of cards once I've draw all cards. When I reach the end of the deck I should indeed get message <code>Deck is empty! You must recreate and reshuffle deck of cards!</code> but once deck has been recreated and re-shuffled it still keeps showing up this message.</p> <p>So I am passing Card object to Deck class where is stored in array in stack fashion.</p> <p>Why am I getting such output where I do indeed reset the deck of cards?</p> <pre><code>deal, bet, hit, stay, split, leave: deal Drawing Player's card... 9 ♥ Drawing Dealer's card...

    2. COWhy are you invoking `deck.createDeck();` from createDeck()? That's a recursive call, without a base case. Doesn't that goe into infinite recursion?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
