Writing a program to play Blackjack in C is driving me off the wall.. I'm really not good at this stuff. Most folks aren't. You have to think very logically and in very great detail. It's requires a rather particular type of madness to succeed at. Use a multivalue two dimensional array for the card deck. One value determines which card value to display, the other the point value. Use a random value function to set the deck. The index for the array values in the position in the deck. When card are dealt to the player(s), their hand is just the sum of the values though the dual value of the ace is a bit of extra handling. Sort out all the steps in "English" aka psuedocode and when you have all the details laid out, then you just have to translate it into the C syntax. |

(yes I know I'm slow, not good at this stuff). On another note.. UC Berkeley was hacked. They lose 97,000 Social Security numbers + other stuff. Berkeley made a site addressing this: http://datatheft.berkeley.edu/news.shtml |

C++ was even worse because they actually tried to pass that junk off as object oriented programing. I usually program in assembly language (for nice tight procedures) and pascal because it's English. UC Berkeley needs to have their IT staff fired. That whole mess was their fault. I hope they aren't this country's future computer scientists! It's time to turn off IPv4 and turn on IPv6. At least it can help stupid people not do stupid things.

Berkeley made a site addressing this: http://datatheft.berkeley.edu/news.shtml Sorry Blizzie, didn't realize you were that far along. Glad you got it done. As for the security breach, those are usually due to incompetence or stupidity. Reading the page Berkeley set up, I have to shake my head. Talk about spin! The breach went on for a good six months before they "caught" it? NO! The hackers took a 2x4 up side their heads to get their attention. As for the bit about "many insurance carriers" using Social Security numbers for ids, I thought all the intelliegent ones dropped that years ago. Clearly Berkeley is trying to pass off their stupidity for using them by claiming others still do that too. What really caught my eye was the absence of any mention of providing free credit monitoring to the victims for at least the next year. |

I see nothing has changed since I left Berkeley. The place was run by idiots back then as well. - D |

I have all my functions and everything in lab4.c I'm supposed to submit three files -- lab4.c , deck.c , deck.h What I did was only have my main() in lab4.c and included deck.h. I put all my declarations and functions in deck.h. I don't know what deck.c is supposed to contain? If anyone has AIM, my AIM is under this post. By the way, it's due at midnight..
