Question

How can I add an intro method to this program so the "Welcome to blackjack!" doesn't appear every round? Along with how can I put in a loop that allows the user to play again?

Random ran = new Random();
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); //to input whether player wants to hit or stay
public Blackjack(String player)
{
type = player;
System.out.println("Welcome to Blackjack! The game has now started.");
  

Deal();
game();
  

}
void displayCard()
{
