I need help providing the code for the dealCards, hit, and determineWinner functions ASAP. I've coded most of the program, but I'm really having a hard time writing the function codes for the listed items; Please assist this paper is due Sunday 8-3-08.
//prototypes... void play21(void); int dealCards(int, string); void hit(int &); void determineWinner(int, int); int Random(int, int);
void main(){
char keepPlaying = 'n'; //loop control variable
do { play21();
//keep playing? cout << "Do you want to play anouther hand (y/n)?"; cin >> keepPlaying; } while(keepPlaying == 'Y' || keepPlaying == 'y'); }
void play21(void){ //play one hand of 21
//randomize the cards srand((int) time(0));
// deal the cards int person = dealCards(2, "Your Cards:"); cout << " = " << person << endl; int house = dealCards(2, "Computers Cards:"); cout << " = " << house << endl;
// Ask if human wants a hit and keep hitting... hit(person); cout << endl;
//Determine if computer takes a hit while ((house < person) && (house <= 21) && (person <= 21)) { house += dealCards(1, "The Computer takes a card "); cout << endl; }
//show who won.... determineWinner(person, house); }
void determineWinner(int humanScore, int houseScore) { Compare the scores to see who won //Both the human and the house score totals are provided as arguments //Display total scores and indicate winner //possible outcomes: human wins, computer wins, tie
}
int dealCards(int numberOfCards, string message){ //This function deals the cards //The number of cards to be dealt is provided as an argument //A message indicating which player is receiving the cards is also //given as an argument //The player message and the cards dealt is displayed to the screen //the total value of the dealt cards is returned
}
void hit(int &playerScore){ //This function asks the human if they want another card -- 'a hit' //the player's score total is accumulated as they take cards //the player can continue taking cards until they wish to stop or they exceed 21 //After a card is taken (use the dealCards function) the user's current total is displayed //If the user goes over 21 'busted' is displayed
}
int Random(int lowerLimit, int upperLimit) { //returns a random number within the given boundary return 1 + rand() % (upperLimit - lowerLimit + 1); }

Here's dealCards to get you started....
cpp
int dealCards(int numberOfCards, string message){ //This function deals the cards //The number of cards to be dealt is provided as an argument //A message indicating which player is receiving the cards is also //given as an argument //The player message and the cards dealt is displayed to the screen //the total value of the dealt cards is returned
int ret_val = 0, val; int cards = numberOfCards;
cout << message; while(cards--){ // Values from 1 to K val = Random(0,14); if( val > 10 ) val = 10; if( val == 1 ) val = 11; cout << val; if(cards) cout << ","; ret_val+=val; } return ret_val; }
One caveat is that 1, an Ace, can be considered either 1 or 11. This function just assigns 11 by default. Didn't see anyway to easily differentiate the value after the function call...

Thanks.
First you double post. Then you still have not learned to use code tags. and you have shown NO effort to solve the problem. Please ensure that you read the forum rules.

My apologies. I'm still trying to figure my way around this site. I haven't used a forum before so this is new to me. The double post was my mistake. I was trying to reply to the guy that was nice enough to help. Which by the way, I've been working on since 4 A.M. I'll update the problem when I figure out the remaining items.
