initializing structs using user-input information
- by johnny boy
I am trying to make a program that works with poker (texas holdem) starting hands; each hand has a value from 1 to 169, and i want to be able to input each card and whether they are suited or not, and have those values correspond to a series of structs. Here is the code so far, i cant seem to get it to work (im a beginning programmer). oh and im using visual studio 2005 by the way
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
struct FirstCard
{
struct SecondCard
{
int s; //suited
int n; //non-suited
};
SecondCard s14;
SecondCard s13;
SecondCard s12;
SecondCard s11;
SecondCard s10;
SecondCard s9;
SecondCard s8;
SecondCard s7;
SecondCard s6;
SecondCard s5;
SecondCard s4;
SecondCard s3;
SecondCard s2;
};
FirstCard s14; //ace
FirstCard s13; //king
FirstCard s12; //queen
FirstCard s11; //jack
FirstCard s10;
FirstCard s9;
FirstCard s8;
FirstCard s7;
FirstCard s6;
FirstCard s5;
FirstCard s4;
FirstCard s3;
FirstCard s2;
s14.s14.n = 169; // these are the values that each combination
s13.s13.n = 168; // will evaluate to, would eventually have
s12.s12.n = 167; // hand combinations all the way down to 1
s11.s11.n = 166;
s14.s13.s = 165;
s14.s13.s = 164;
s10.s10.n = 163; //10, 10, nonsuited
s14.s13.n = 162;
s14.s11.s = 161;
s13.s12.s = 160;// king, queen, suited
s9.s9.n = 159;
s14.s10.s = 158;
s14.s12.n = 157;
s13.s11.s = 156;
s8.s8.n = 155;
s12.s11.s = 154;
s13.s10.s = 153;
s14.s9.s = 152;
s14.s11.n = 151;
cout << "enter first card: " << endl;
cin >> somthing?//no idea what to put here, but this would somehow
//read out the user input (a number from 2 to 14)
//and assign it to the corresponding struct
cout << firstcard.secondcard.suited_or_not << endl; //this would change depending
//on what the user inputs
system("Pause");
}
