I hope you had fun building poker, Rito, if you had any trouble, no worries in this video.

2
00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:07,820
I'm only going to go through task one because it's very long.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,560
But in the next video, I'm going to go through the remaining tasks so you can choose which video to

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,720
watch, depending on where you got stuck.

5
00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:20,090
So your first task was to create a function that returns a random card.

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,730
As always, it's going to be public static.

7
00:00:25,460 --> 00:00:26,780
It returns string.

8
00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:31,370
And the name of the function is random card.

9
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:39,420
It says nothing about parameters, so it's not going to take any and OK, there are 13 cards.

10
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:43,470
So inside the function, we need to get a random number between one and 13.

11
00:00:44,530 --> 00:00:50,350
So what I'll do is I'll set double a random number is equal to Mathoura Random Times 13.

12
00:00:57,410 --> 00:01:02,190
Remember that math, that random returns a random decimal between zero and less than one.

13
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:09,050
So if you multiply the result by 13, we can expect a decimal between zero and less than 13.

14
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,730
And in the second line, I'm going to add one to the random number range by setting random number plus

15
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:16,430
equals one.

16
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,430
And now we should expect the number to be in the range of one to less than 14.

17
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:30,220
And now we're going to set into equal to that random number, but as an integer as a whole, no.

18
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,410
And so this third line is going to cut off the decimal, which means our random number should now spend

19
00:01:41,410 --> 00:01:43,330
the range of one to 13.

20
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:49,270
So far, this is nothing new because we did something very similar when we built Paradise Project in

21
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:50,140
the last section.

22
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,840
So we're done the first part of this function, the second part requires us the return, a card that

23
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,580
matches that random number.

24
00:02:00,630 --> 00:02:06,120
And what you can do is get the string values from the cards, the text file, if you go to card text

25
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,990
in your file Explorer, I left you all 13 cards in the form of a string.

26
00:02:13,450 --> 00:02:18,880
So what we can do is use a switch statement to compare their random number against 13 cases.

27
00:02:57,420 --> 00:03:02,370
And in the event that a random number doesn't match any of our cases, we need to add a default case

28
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:05,250
because the function expect a string no matter what.

29
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:11,730
But obviously, this is never going to run because we know that our random number can only go from one

30
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:12,420
to 13.

31
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,020
In any case, in the event of a case match, we're going to return the right card.

32
00:03:22,990 --> 00:03:27,790
So here we're going to return the card for case one, which would be Ace, I'm going to copy the ace

33
00:03:27,790 --> 00:03:32,620
card to the right of the return key word, and then I can highlight all of this and press tab a few

34
00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:34,210
times and bring this back.

35
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:37,780
And we just have to keep doing this 13 times.

36
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:40,390
If you feel like doing it with me, then by all means.

37
00:03:40,810 --> 00:03:44,070
But if you want to skip ahead and fast forward, you can do that as well.

38
00:07:16,350 --> 00:07:20,370
OK, now, even though this is never going to get called, Java doesn't know that and it's going to

39
00:07:20,370 --> 00:07:25,800
give you an error because it's basically telling you, hey, in the event that a random number doesn't

40
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:31,140
match any of our cases, the default case needs to return a string value as well because the function

41
00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:31,860
demands it.

42
00:07:32,970 --> 00:07:36,900
So I'm going to return this shouldn't get called because they won't.

43
00:07:45,490 --> 00:07:51,100
OK, that's all for task one, we're done, but it's good practice to always test your code before you

44
00:07:51,100 --> 00:07:51,760
write any more.

45
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,820
So I'm going to call the function and print the return value from Main.

46
00:08:01,810 --> 00:08:03,190
OK, I'll run my code.

47
00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:21,040
And it returns a card, I'll know if my function works, if I keep returning a random card every time

48
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,160
I run it, and that is exactly the case.

49
00:08:24,610 --> 00:08:27,550
In the next video, we're going to implement the remaining tasks.
