Question

Write a Python method that takes two strings of five characters. The first string represents card values (ace (a), king (k), queen (q), jack (j), ten (t), or 2-9). The second string consists of the suits of the cards (diamonds (d), clubs (c), hearts (h), spades (s)). First, check that the string is a valid poker hand (it must consist of only the previous mentioned values). If it is invalid, return "invalid hand". If it is a valid hand, return what hand it is:

high card: highest card in the hand

one pair: one matching pair exists in the hand

two pair: two matching pairs exist in the hand

three of a kind: three matching cards in the hand

full house: a pair plus three of a kind

four of a kind: four of the same cards in the hand

straight: the five cards are in a sequence (ex: 34567, tjqka, or 789tj)

flush: all five cards are the same suit

royal straight flush: flush plus the cards are akqjt

Use regular expressions for validate hand, test for two of a kind, and test for 3 of a kind.

Explanation / Answer

class TestPoker:
    def checkRoyalStriaght(self,string1, string2):
       if "hhhhh" || "sssss" || "ddddd" || "ccccc" in string2
           from itertools import permutations
           perms = [''.join(p) for p in permutations(string1)]
           if "akqjt" in perms
           print "Its a ROyal Straight!"
    def checkFlush(self,string1,string2):
        if "hhhhh" || "sssss" || "ddddd" || "ccccc" in string2
            print "FLUSH!"
    def checkStraight(self,string1,string2):
        num=(int)string1
        if array in num
        print "STRAIGHT"
        ##Here define array as 12345,23456,34567 as string of these combinations

    def checkHighCard(self,string1,string2):
        num=(int)string1
        if array in num
               if "hhhhh" || "sssss" || "ddddd" || "ccccc" in string2
                    print "HIGH CARD"
        ##Here define array as 12345,23456,34567 as string of these combinations

    def checkHighCard(self,string1,string2):
        num=(int)string1

p=TestPoker
print "Enter First String:",
string1 = raw_input()

print "Enter Second String:",
string2 = raw_input()

p.checkRoyalStriaght(string1,string2)

##Likewise you can check all the valid Hands
