Help on my Card class please.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys could lookover my Card class.

[code]
public class Card
{
private int value;
private String suit;

public Card (int val, String cardSuit)
{
value = val;
suit = cardSuit;
}
}
[/code]

Would this be sufficient enough to implement a card drawing game?

@buntineNov 19.2004 — Agreed, getters and setters will need to be added. You may want to break it into three variables.

  • - suit

  • - type (1 - 10, Jack, King, etc) (there must be a better word?)

  • - value


    • Also, override toString() to provide a sentance when the user wants to print the Card.
    <i>
    </i>public String toString()
    {
    return getType() + " of " + getSuit() + "'s";
    }

    Regards.

    @buntineNov 20.2004 — lol. Of coarse.

    I think setters are a good alternative to passing variables in the constructor. It may not be needed for this example, but still conforms to standards.

    Bueza, You can setup a default constructor that takes no parameters.

    Regards.

    @ray326Nov 20.2004 — In fact, if you want use those Cards as JSP page scope beans then you'll HAVE to set up setters and an empty constructor.

    I don't mind breaking some standards if the behaviour of the object calls for it. Sometimes we code a default constructor and make it private to eliminate the possibility that it be "automagically" built by a JSP that should be receiving it ready to go.

    Success!
