Question

Hi,

Program logic is working great for five card poker game and hand contains a pair and iterated the loop to find how many times program ran until pair were dealt.but, it will not display the cards if it was dealt more than 10 times.

But, when i change the program to four of a kind and iterated in do... while loop to find how many times were dealt to determine four of a kind, my output shows no.of times were dealt but not displaying the cards along with suits if it was dealt more than 10 times. pls help me out to display my cards in output!!!

Note: I just highlighted the those two lines in different color.

#include <iostream>

#include <ctime> //Prototype for time

using namespace std;

{

const int HANDSIZE=5;

int i,j,decks[52],deckn[52];

int count[13]={0};

int suits[HANDSIZE],ranks[HANDSIZE],cards=0,low;

string suit[4]={"hearts","diamonds","spades","clubs"};

string card[13]={"ace","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","jack","queen","king"};

do

{

srand(time(0));

shuffle(decks,deckn);

dealcards(suits,ranks,decks,deckn,cards,HANDSIZE);

num_of_times_dealt++;

}while(!duplicates(ranks));

cout<<num_of_times_dealt<<" no. of times dealt displayed before printing cards "<<endl;
