* Coded Edited with Fix * I found an open source project that has a few bugs (I have fixed a couple so far) but this one has me stumped. The issue that I am trying to solve… If I have 3 sets of pairs (isThreePair) and it is also a 4 of a Kind (example: 4ea – 3’s and 2ea 4’s) it always chooses the 4 of a kind (isFourOfAKind), I should be able to pick either. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with the code.

My Issue was answered on the Code Review. The Above Code reflects the Working Code. But here is the Section that needed to be modified.

    public final static int isThreePair(int[] array, Context c, boolean calledPublicly) {

            if (array.length < 6)
                    return 0;

            SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager
                            .getDefaultSharedPreferences(c);

            int threePairScore = Integer.valueOf(prefs.getString("threePairPref",
                            "750"));

            if (calledPublicly)
                    array = count(array);

            int count = 0;

            if (array[0] >= 2)
                count += array[0] / 2;
            if (array[1] >= 2)
                count += array[1] / 2;
            if (array[2] >= 2)
                count += array[2] / 2;
            if (array[3] >= 2)
                count += array[3] / 2;
            if (array[4] >= 2)
                count += array[4] / 2;
            if (array[5] >= 2)
                count += array[5] / 2;

            if (count == 3)
                    return threePairScore;
            else
                    return 0;

    }

    Walk through the code and think what would happen if it was four of a kind.

                    int fourOfAKindStatus = 0;
                    if (length == 4)
                            fourOfAKindStatus = isFourOfAKind(newArray, c, length)[0];
                    if (fourOfAKindStatus > 0)
                            return fourOfAKindStatus;
    
                    int threeOfAKindStatus = 0;
                    if (length == 3)
                            threeOfAKindStatus = isThreeOfAKind(newArray, c, length)[0];
                    if (threeOfAKindStatus > 0)
                            return threeOfAKindStatus;
    

    If the result is four of a kind, you are returning from the method before checking for 3 of a kind. Therefore, the three of a kind check never gets performed.

    You could have calculate() return a HashMap instead of an int, and instead of immediately returning the status when you find a match, you could add an entry to the map and keep checking, returning it at the end.
