Description

For all labs, your solutions must conform to the CS101 style guidelines!
All data and results should be stored in variables (or constants where appropriate) with meaningful names.
The objective of this lab is to learn how to use for and do-while loop to implement automated repetition. Remember that analyzing your problems and designing them on a piece of paper before starting implementation/coding is always a best practice.
In this particular lab, only use the for or do-while loops, do not use the while loop.
0. Setup Workspace
Start VSC and open the previously created workspace named labs_ws. Now, under the labs folder, create a new folder named lab5.
In this lab, you are to have two Java classes/files (under labs/lab5 folder) as described below. A third Java file containing the revision should go under this folder as well. We expect you to submit a total of 3 files including the revision, without compressing them. Do not upload other/previous lab solutions in your submission. The user inputs in the sample runs are shown with blue color.

2. Papaz Kaçtı (Card Game, similar with the ‘Old Maid’ game)
Create a new/empty file of your own under the lab5 folder named Lab05_Q2.java with a class with the same name. Your program will be a simplified version of the popular card game “Papaz Kaçtı” (Similar with Old Maid). Even if you are familiar with the game, you should still read the instructions thoroughly, as there are quite a bit of simplifications and changes from the original game. A couple of sample runs of the game are added at the end of the explanations. Be careful about your outputs. They should be aligned with the given examples.
Remark1: You are not allowed to use any data type or class we have not yet learnt about (e.g. from the
Collection framework such as Lists, Arrays and ArrayLists).
Game play:
The game play starts when the deck is dealt. Each player looks at the cards dealt and removes any pairs from their own hands. Let’s say Player-1 starts by drawing a random card from Player-2. If Player-1 has a pair with the drawn card, Player-1 should remove that pair from the hand. Then Player-2 draws a random card from Player-1 and again if the drawn card creates a pair, the matching cards should be removed from the hand. If the card drawn does not create a pair, the card stays in the player’s hand.
When a player pairs up all the cards in their hand, that player will out the game. Since there are 2 players, this means that the other player holds the odd King in his hand. At the end, when all the pairs are matched and removed, the player having the odd King in the hand will lose the game.
Remark2: When the 51-card are dealt out, one player will get one more card than the other. In this case, the player with less cards at initial card dealing should make the first move in the game, which means that player with the less cards should draw a random card from the other player, alternating in this manner.
The game can be summarized with the following steps, each of which will be detailed in the following sections:
1. Deck creation & initial card drawn.
a. Create deck and remove one King
b. Deal all the cards to two players
c. Remove all pairs from all two players’ hands
2. Game Rounds
a. If Player-1’s turn, Player-1 draws a random card from Player-2
i. Remove one randomly selected card from Player-2’s hand and add that card to
Player-1’s hand.
ii. Check for a new pair in Player-1’s hand and remove if any.
b. If Player-2’s turn, Player-2 draws a random card from Player-1
i. Remove one randomly selected card from Player-1’s hand and add that card to
Player-2’s hand.
ii. Check for a new pair in Player-2’s hand and remove if any.
2.1. Deck creation & initial card drawn
● First, construct a string that will be used in place of a card deck. A standard card deck is composed of 13 ranks (numbers through 1 to 10, Jack, Queen and King) in 4 suits (categories like clubs, diamonds, etc.), for a total of 52 cards. For simplicity, our deck includes positive digits (1-9) and T,J,Q,K to represent 10, Jack, Queen and King, respectively. So T is for 10, J is for Jack, Q is for Queen and K is for King. We don’t care about the suit of the card but there will be four of each card except one King. All in all, we are left with a 51-card deck where each digit/card is included 4 times except King. Use a for loop to create a string corresponding to a deck (except the one King) and print it:
Starting the game with the following deck:
111122223333444455556666777788889999TTTTJJJJQQQQKKK
● Before game rounds start, we deal all the cards to two players randomly. So, for each player, randomly select cards from the deck and add them to the player’s hand which is in String format.
Initial cards are dealing…
Player-1 hand: KT195249KT5361J572TJQK8378
Player-2 hand: T1224343465667Q88991JJQ7Q
Tip: To randomly select a card you can use the following code (assuming there are 5 cards in the deck):
import java.util.Random; // Similar to what we do with the Scanner … …
Random rand = new Random(); // Again, very similar to Scanner int randomChoice = rand.nextInt(5); // get a random number in range [0,5)
● Remove all pairs from both players’ hands. To do this, you need to find duplicates in Strings (players’ hands) and remove them from the hands. Remember that if there are three cards with the same number (e.g. TTT) in one hand, you should remove only two of them.
Pairs are removed:
Player-1 hand: 456TQK
Player-2 hand: 456TQ
2.2. Game Round
● After our initialization is completed, we can now start the core game loop. Since in this example Player-1 has more cards (26 cards) when initial cards were dealt, Player-2 draws first (Remember: the player with less card at initial card dealing should make the first move in the game)
Start Drawing…
Player-2 is drawing the card: 3 from Player-1…
Player-1 hand: 589
Player-2 hand: 3589K3
● Now, Player-2 needs to pair 3s after the drawing card:3
Pairs are removed:
Player-1 hand: 589
Player-2 hand: 589K
● Now it is time for Player-1 to draw a card from Player-2
Start Drawing…
Player-1 is drawing the card: 8 from Player-2…
Player-1 hand: 5898
Player-2 hand: 59K
● Again the pairs (8s in this case) are removed from Player-1’s hand
Pairs are removed: Player-1 hand: 59
Player-2 hand: 59K
● Game continues with Player-2’s round and removing pairs
Start Drawing…
Player-2 is drawing the card: 9 from Player-1…
Player-1 hand: 5
Player-2 hand: 59K9
Pairs are removed:
Player-1 hand: 5
Player-2 hand: 5K
● We are close to the end. Now it is Player-1’s turn. Since cards are randomly drawn, Player-1 can draw 5 and win the game, or draw K. In the former case, the game should finish and you need to announce the winner as Player-1. In the latter case, however, the game should continue.
5 is drawn:

Player-1 hand: 55 Player-2 hand: K
Pairs are removed:

Player-2 hand: K
