#include <iostream>
using namespace::std;


#include "deck1.h"
#include "hand1.h"

int main()
{
Deck d; // instantiate object d of class Deck
Hand player, dealer; // instantiate player and dealer objects of class Hand

int choice; // player inputs a selection
int card = d.deal(); // gives card value of dealt card

cout << "(S)tand, (H)it, (Q)uit: ";
cin >> choice;

while (choice != 'Q' && choice != 'q'){
switch (choice){

case '?':
d.shuffle();
d.print();
cout << endl;
break;

case 'H':
case 'h':
cout << "You draw a " << card << endl;
player.addCard(card);
cout << "Dealer shows a " << card << endl;
dealer.addCard(card);
player.print();
break;

case 'S':
case 's':
cout << "Dealer draws a " << card << endl;
dealer.addCard(card);
dealer.print();
break;

default:
break;
} // end switch
} // end while
return 0;
}

The while is causing an infinite loop. And the switch statement isn't working right. It just prints out "(S)tand, (H)it: H and then goes to the next line without going into the switch statement. Without the while and switch statements, all those commands print out as they're supposed to, but I need the ability to keep filling the two hands. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

nm I remembered what the switch statement is!

I only see one spot where you're reading a new value for 'choice' and it's outside the loop.

code:

---

def foo():
  print "C++?  lol"

---

Yes, yes it does. Use it when posting code.

Also, why do you declare choice to be an int, when you are using it for character values? Shouldn't you delcare it to be a char?

I sincerely doubt that your compiler is dumb enough to leave trash in the top three bytes of an int.

What's the C++ version of C's fpurge? Think that might help the infinite loop I'm still getting. Although my program's changed quite a bit from that. That was just trying to get things working and test the class calls.

Uh, i doubt you're getting an infinite loop because of stream buffering.

fpurge is pretty sloppy anyway, in my opinion.

<initialize>
<Initial Question>
<Loop Begin>
<Process input>
<Read new input>
<Loop End>

or

<initialize>
<Loop Begin>
<Read new input>
<Process input>
<Loop End>

We figured it out.

I could use some advice, though. I need to figure out winnings for each hand and keep track of those for an ever-changing bankroll. What's the best way to set that up?

[edit]looking at it, you'd probably want it to be another class, and you just call all the functions for handling the bankroll, make a function that's called everytime you start a hand that asks you about wagering, after the player handles his wagering though, it's gonna be a little messy. You'll have to determine how the computer will figure out it's wager. I'm completely unseasoned on gambling so I don't know if in BJ you bet after the deal or before the deal. Either or you'll have you figure that out.[/edit]

Naimah had this to say about Optimus Prime:
I'd personally make a player class that contains both their hand and their bank/wager as child classes. This way the program can more easily support any number of players.

Yeah, that'd be the best bet actually.

You're not even a man ffs.
