Hearts Exercise

A GitHub Classroom Assignment

This assignment must be accepted on GitHub Classroom.

Introduction

Anyone up for a game of Hearts?

Objective

Using what you learned about loops and conditional statements, create a standard deck of cards and deal out all the cards to the four players.

Requirements

The following requirements must be met in order to complete the assignment successfully:

Step 1

Clone this repository from GitHub. Aside from this README file, there are NO starter files for this assignment.

Step 2

Create an index.html file with the standard HTML5 structure. Add the provided script.js file to the index.html file using the <script></script> tag.

Step 3

Using the provided suits and ranks arrays and nested loops, create an array of objects. Each object will contain suit and rank property representing each card in a standard deck of cards.

The computed array of objects should look something like this

[
  {"suit":"clubs","rank":2},
  {"suit":"clubs","rank":3},
  {"suit":"clubs","rank":4},
  {"suit":"clubs","rank":5},
  {"suit":"clubs","rank":6},
  ...
  {"suit":"spades","rank":"J"},
  {"suit":"spades","rank":"Q"},
  {"suit":"spades","rank":"K"},
  {"suit":"spades","rank":"A"}
]

Step 4

Using the provide shuffle() function, shuffle the newly created deck of cards (Refer to the Shuffle Function section below). Store the results of the shuffle() to a new variable.

Step 5

Using the shuffled deck and players object, deal out a card to each player one card at a time until every card has been dealt. Each player should have 13 cards.

Step 6

Using loops, find the player that is holding the Queen of Hearts and display a message to the console.

Shuffle Function

The following screencast shows how to use the provided shuffle() function.
