Thread: if statement with arrays help

hello

Im making a card game using arrays to setup the deck and produce cards. i've got everything done except for scoring both the players hand and dealers hand, to see who wins. I dont know how I would setup an if statement for seeing what you have in a hand once all cards are flipped.
this is what I have so far for dealing the cards and scoring the hand:

Code:

void shuffle(int wdeck[][13])
{

	int row;
	int column;
	int card;

	for(card = 1; card <= 52; card++) {
		do {
			row = rand() % 4;
			column = rand() % 13;
		}while(wdeck [row] [column] !=0);

		wdeck [row] [column] = card;
	}
}

void deal2(const int wdeck[][13], const char *wface[], 
		  const char *wsuit[])
{
	int card;
	int row;
	int column;
	
	for ( card = 1; card <= 2; card++ ) {
		
		for ( row = 0; row <= 3; row++ ){

			for ( column = 0; column <=12; column++ ){

				if ( wdeck[row][column] == card ) {

					printf("%5s%-8s%\n", wface[column], wsuit[row],
					card % 52 == 0 );
				
					
					
				}		
			}
		}
	}
}
void dealcommunity(const int wdeck[][13], const char *wface[], 
		  const char *wsuit[])
{
	int card;
	int row;
	int column;

	

	
	for ( card = 3; card <= 3; card++ ) {
		
		for ( row = 0; row <= 3; row++ ){

			for ( column = 0; column <=12; column++ ){

				if ( wdeck[row][column] == card ) {

					printf("%5s%-8s%\n", wface[column], wsuit[row],
					card % 52 == 0 );
					
					
				}		
			}
		}
	}
}
void dealcommunity2(const int wdeck[][13], const char *wface[], 
		  const char *wsuit[])
{
	int card;
	int row;
	int column;

	

	
	for ( card = 3; card <= 4; card++ ) {
		
		for ( row = 0; row <= 3; row++ ){

			for ( column = 0; column <=12; column++ ){

				if ( wdeck[row][column] == card ) {

					printf("%5s%-8s%\n", wface[column], wsuit[row],
					card % 52 == 0 );
					
					
				}		
			}
		}
	}
}
void dealcommunity3(const int wdeck[][13], const char *wface[], 
		  const char *wsuit[])
{
	int card;
	int row;
	int column;

	

	
	for ( card = 3; card <= 5; card++ ) {
		
		for ( row = 0; row <= 3; row++ ){

			for ( column = 0; column <=12; column++ ){

				if ( wdeck[row][column] == card ) {

					printf("%5s%-8s%\n", wface[column], wsuit[row],
					card % 52 == 0 );
					
					
				}		
			}
		}
	}
}
void dealdealer( const int wdeck[][13], const char *wface[],const char *wsuit[])
{
	int dcard;
	int drow;
	int dcolumn;
	
	for ( dcard = 6; dcard <= 7; dcard++ ) {
		
		for ( drow = 0; drow <= 3; drow++ ){

			for ( dcolumn = 0; dcolumn <=12; dcolumn++ ){

				if ( wdeck[drow][dcolumn] == dcard ) {
					

					printf("%5s%-8s%\n", wface[dcolumn], wsuit[drow],
					dcard % 52 == 0 );
				
					
					
				}		
			}
		}
	}

An undeclared identifier error occurs when the compiler can not recognise an identifier within your code; be it a sequence of characters representing: an object or variable name, class name etc. In your case we are looking at the error with regards to two variable names that have stumped the compiler.

If you have a look at your void function "checkroyal", there are no declarations for the variables with character sequences "face" and "suit". Instead, the closest thing that we can find, are the parameters residing with the function, named "wface" and "wsuit".

Therefore, I think you have just made a simple typo when trying to use the variables passed to the function. Try renaming the actual parameter variables to "face" and "suit" (also changing them in the function declaration for consistency), or renaming each of the references to "face" and "suit" to "wface" and "wsuit".

In future, try to learn the meanings of some common errors, such as this one. In the long run it will save you a lot of time, instead of having to wait for forum replies

Hope I was able to help!
