Determine what kind of hand of poker, the five cards
are. For instance, if I have the following:
Ace of Hearts
Two of Diamonds
Two of Clubs
10 of Spades
10 of Diamonds
You would print out:
Two Pair
In general, a poker hand can be the following:
1 Pair
2 Pair
3 of a kind
4 of a kind
full house (3 of a kind and 1 pair)
straight
flush
straight flush
royal flush
