Grabyo technical test
At Grabyo we love board games and will have an occasional poker night. Since no one remembers the card ranking you will have to write a program that compare poker hands and determines a winner.
1. Requirements
A poker hand has a constructor that accepts a string containing 5 cards:
hand = PokerHand("KS 2H 5C JD TD");and a method to compare itself to another hand
def compare_with(self, opponent):
# Your code here
return 0The characteristics of the string of cards are:
- A space is used as card seperator
- Each card consists of two characters
- The first character is the value of the card, valid characters are:
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,T(en),J(ack),Q(ueen),K(ing),A(ce) - The second character represents the suit, valid characters are:
S(pades),H(earts),D(iamonds),C(lubs)
The result of your poker hand compare can be one of the 3 options:
- 0 for a TIE
- 1 for a WIN
- 2 for a LOSS
The ranking of the hands should follow the Texas Hold'em rules
You are free to architect your code the way you want: adding classes, enums or constants as long as you stick to the compare_with method signature and PokerHand specification given in the sample. You can use any libraries that you feel are relevant to solve this problem.
## 2. Tests
Sample unit tests have been included in the code skeleton. You can run them as a script: python tests.py. Writing more tests is welcome :)
Good luck ;)
