Question

Write a program that takes user input describing a playing card in the following short-hand notation:

А Ace
2... 10 Card values
J Jack
Q Queen
K King
D Diamonds
H Hearts
S Spades
C Clubs

Your program should print the full description of the card. For example, Enter the card notation: QS Queen of Spades
Implement a class Card whose constructor takes the card notation string and whose getDescription method returns a description of the card. If the notation string is not in the correct format, the getDescription method should return the string "Unknown".

Answer 1

Answer:

In python Language:

cardNotation = raw_input("Enter card notation: ")

 

# Create a dict for values

 

cardColors = {"D": "Diamonds",

             "H": "Hearts",

             "S": "Spades",

             "C": "Clubs"}

 

cardNumberValues = {"A": "Ace",

                   "J": "Jack",

                   "Q": "Queen",

                   "K": "King",

                   "2": "Two",

                   "3": "Three",

                   "4": "Four",

                   "5": "Five",

                   "6": "Six",

                   "7": "Seven",

                   "8": "Eight",

                   "9": "Nine",

                   "10": "Ten"}

 

# Handle cases when 10 comes in input

if len(cardNotation) == 3:

 

   number = cardNotation[:2]

   color = cardNotation[2:]

   print cardNumberValues.get(number) + " of " + cardColors.get(color)

 

elif len(cardNotation) == 2:

 

   number = cardNotation[:1]

   color = cardNotation[1:]

   print cardNumberValues.get(number) + " of " + cardColors.get(color)

 

else:

   print "INVALID VALUE"
