Question

I want a way to load 52 cards in an Array without having to hard code it.
I have an array suits which contains “H” , “C” , “S” , “D” prefixes for each suit.
I need to have a single array cards[52] with values H1-H13,S1-S13 etc.
The problem i am facing is i can load cards[0] to cards[12] fairly easily, but how do i load the next card in cards[13] ?

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

var suits = new Array("H", "C", "S", "D");
var cards = new Array();
// changed 3 to 4 to display all four suits
var cnt = 0;
for(i=0; i<4; i++)
    for(j=1; j<=13; j++)
        cards[cnt++] = suits[i] + j;
