Deck of Cards

This library contains a very basic implementation for a deck of standard playing cards. This implies:

  1. 4 suits - clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades
  2. 13 ranks - ace, 2-10, jack, queen, and king
  3. Special cards such as Jokers are not supported

An individual deck may have any number of cards from 0 -> Java's maximum list size provided you have enough memory to hold it. The library provides a standardDeck() method to get a normal 52 card playing deck.

Deck instances provide two main operations: shuffle and dealOneCard. shuffle re-orders the current cards in the deck randomly. dealOneCard returns the top card from the given Deck.
