I use cards.dll that is part of Windows. *The same dll that is used in
Solitaire and such like....

enum rank
ace
two
three
etc etc...
end enum

enum suit
heart
spades
clubs
diamonds
end enum

The cards are represented as follows:-
card = rank + suit * 4

You would be better served to extend that class and add a method that
returns the split up rank and suit for a poker-style game, since ranking
poker hands is easier that way. Also what if you want to add Jokers to the
deck or handle wild cards? *The OP didn't specify, but doesn't sound
possible with cards.dll.- Hide quoted text -

I decided at the outset that I wasn't going to add functionality to
deal with jokers/wild cards.
So create a method that would determine both rank and suit as seperate
objects/variables and use those to determine the poker hand?
