    Lightbulb Cout...invisible to the user

    I'm programming BlackJack. I'm using srand(time(0)) to generate numbers from 2-52....one number for each card in the deck. I want to change the output that the user sees from #'s 2-52... to 1-10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. Is there an easier way of doing this rather than assigning as such 11=Jack .... 12=Queen, etc. Thanks for any help.

    Code:
    char picturecards[4][] = { "Jack","Queen","King","Ace" };
    printf("Card: %s",picturecards[cardNumber-11]);
