Following this text book, i need to take this card dealing program and turn it into dealing 5 cards, and identifying pairs(and various other hands). The 5 cards was easy, now im just experimenting on how to identify pairs when i came into the error: missing ; before const. The /* comments are from the book. my comments for your reference are #
