Card game problem

[turbomen]

Dear ALL,

I have tried to demonstrate the card game problem by myself. The card game is come together with 52 cards. It has Spade, Heart, Club and Diamond - Spade > Heart > Club > Diamond. It has the integers and chars 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A. Could you tell me how can I code this program if we only play for 5 times. We choose 1 card in every time randomly.

Cheers,

turbomen

i had a little time to continue the card game....

program solution;

var lapok:array[1..12]of string[1];{the cards,2,3,4,5...J,Q,K,A}
    kezd:byte;{who begins the game}
    lapszam:byte;{the numbers of the card }
    i,num:byte;
    s:string[1];
    you,computer,draw:byte;
    lapyou,lapcomputer:array[1..4]of string[1];
    temp:byte;

procedure stars;
var x:byte;
begin
   writeln;
   for x:=1 to 20 do write('*-');
   writeln;
end;

begin
     lapszam:=52;
     you:=0;
     computer:=0;
     draw:=0;
     randomize;
     stars;
     writeln('Welcome to my card game!');
     writeln('There are 52 cards.');
     write('The available cards are: ');
     {fill up the array}
     for i:=1 to 12 do begin
        case (i) of
             9:lapok[i]:='J';
            10:lapok[i]:='Q';

        else begin

of course my little program do not cares about the spade or diamond,etc
this program demonstrates a simple card game ,you against the computer.you gain 4 cards and the computer too,then the program determines that who will begin the game,then you randomly select a card and the computer too,then the program determines again,and the winner gains point..... :D
