Thread: Poker simulator

I am new to coding and I have to built a poker simulator for school. I already have a shuffling function, deal function, and display function. I have been stuck at the compare function of who wins. I am trying to start at a easy one such as a pair but I don’t know where to start. If someone can please send like a sample of what you would do or a hint on how to start the comparisons it would help a lot! I haven’t learned qsort yet but my only tools I have learned are up to matrix’s, arrays if that helps show what level I am at in coding.

The output value is likely needed to be the following; but, I have not played poker in decades.
highest suit
highest rank
highest ?? two pair or three of a kind, etc.

I already have the cp hand and players hand displayed. All I need is the comparisons of who wins that round but I don’t know how to do it
