Chapter $16$ Card Objects

Design and implement an object$-$oriented program for displaying a deck of cards. Each card will have a value ranging in order from $1$ for an ace, $2$ for a two, and so on up to and including $11$ for a jack, $12$ for a queen, and $13$ for the king.

The focus of the exercise is to create three classes that represent a card, deck, and hand using composition.

Console

$```$

Cards $-$ Tester

DECK

Ace of Clubs

$2$

$3$

$4$

$5$ ranks $=[$Ace$,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,$ Jack, Queen, King$]$

suits $=[$Clubs$,$ Diamonds, Hearts, Spades$]$

The Hand class will hold a list of cards. It will have the following methods.

A constructor method, with no parameter $($except for self$),$ will create a private 'cards'

attribute as a list.

An 'addCard' method that takes a card object parameter which will add the card object to

the cards attribute.

A 'playCard' method that takes a named index parameter. The default index value is zero.

The method will remove the card at the index value of the cards attribute and return the

card object.

A 'count' method that returns the length of the cards attribute.

A 'totalPoints' method that returns the total of the values of all cards in the hand.

A $\_()$ iter$\_(\_())$ and next method so that a Hand object can be used in a loop.

The main method, in a module separate from the objects module, will do the following.

Create a deck object

Print all cards in the deck as a string

Shuffle the deck

Print the size of the deck

Deal a hand with five cards

Print the cards of the hand

Print the total value of the hand

Print the number of cards in the hand, and

Print the number of cards in the deck
