: : : i have two questions
: : :
: : : 1: My program just keeps on using the same card value throughtout
: : : the whole program. Each of my cards are determined by a random
: : : number. The problem is my random number keeps on staying the same
: : : for every game which is held together by a loop that keeps on
: : : interating until the user runs of of money or wants to quit. Here is
: : : my random number method-
: : :
: : : public int getRanNum(){
: : : RanNum = (int)((13 - 2 + 2) * Math.random() + 2);
: : : return(RanNum);
: : : }
: : :
: : : 2. My 2nd problem is my betting. When the user inputs a bet greater
: : : than the current amount of money, it goes to the checkBet method
: : : which has the user input a new bet. However it just uses the first
: : : input of bet in my program. Here is the code-
: : :
: : :
from main method...
: : :
: : : System.out.println("How much of your " + money.format(Cash) + " do
: : : you want to bet ");
: : : bet = input.nextInt();
: : : play.checkBet(bet, Cash);
: : :
: : :
: : :
from my class called card....
: : :
: : : public void checkBet(int bet, int Cash){
: : : if(bet > Cash){
: : : Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
: : : System.out.println("Not enough money enter a lower
: : : amount ");
: : : bet = input.nextInt();
: : : }
: : : }
: : :
: : 1) I've tested your random generator with this line several times:
: :
: :
: : for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
: : System.out.print((int)((13 - 2 + 2) * Math.random() + 2)+", ");
: :
: :
: : and never got the same value for all 10. Here's the result of one of
: : those runs: 5, 14, 4, 7, 8, 9, 13, 6, 3, 7,
: :
: : 2) In Java all method parameters are non-variable. Thus if the value
: : of a parameter is changed within a method, it is never reflected
: : back to the calling method. The solution is to make your method a
: : function, which returns the bet value.
: :
: : Note: I've removed the second thread you created since it was the
: : same as this one.

: Thank you very much. Ps. if anyone can find any individual .gif or
: .jpeg pictures of all the individual cards please contect me

Why don't you make them yourself? It isn't as hard as it sounds. Nearly every font has the card-suit symbols included: ♠♣♥♦ (I hope these 4 will appear correctly). You can easily type them into paint (or another drwing program) and add a number/letter to it to produce an image.
Alternatively you could dynamically let your program draw them onto a Graphics object to produce the images.
