    Exclamation Need help with this code

    Hello.. I need help with this codes with these arguments:
    should be able to do the following:
    1. Shuffling the deck of playing card.
    2. Distributing the card among four players, one card to each player then second card to each and so on.
    3. The player having maximum similar cards ( like all 13 hearts) consider as winner.
    I compelete like 70% from the code ..
    *Only in C language
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <string.h>

    I'd give it 30% finished.

    You've made a reasonable job of shuffle.

    The next task would be a function called 'deal'.
    One thing you need to keep track of is how many cards you've dealt so far.


    You also have a ton of unnecessary blank lines in your post.
    About 200 too many.
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    //constants declared
    #define NUMOFCARDS 52
    #define NUMOFPROPERTIES 2
    #define NUMOFSUITS 4
    #define NUMOFFACES 13
    #define PLAYERCARDS 13
    #define FIRSTTWOATATIME  3
    
    struct playerCards {
      int playersCardDeck[PLAYERCARDS][NUMOFPROPERTIES];
      // Above array denotes number cards assigned to a players where represents "PLAYERCARDS" suit and "NUMOFPROPERTIES" represents faces.
    };
    
    //declaration of arrays
    char *suit[NUMOFSUITS] = { "Hearts", "Spades", "Clubs", "Diamonds" };
    
    char *face[NUMOFFACES] = { "Ace", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine",
      "Ten", "Jack", "Queen", "King"
    };
    
    //calling functions
    void PrintCard(int deck[NUMOFCARDS][NUMOFPROPERTIES], int i);
    void InitDeck(int deck[NUMOFCARDS][NUMOFPROPERTIES]);
    void SwapCards(int deck[NUMOFCARDS][NUMOFPROPERTIES], int src, int dest);

      int deck[NUMOFCARDS][NUMOFPROPERTIES];
      int player1Deck[5];
      int src = 0;
      int dest = 0;
      int i;
      int j;
      int row = 0;
      int players;
      int numPlayers = 4;
      int playerDeck[30];
      srand(time(NULL));
      InitDeck(deck);
      ShuffleDeck(deck);
      SwapCards(deck, src, dest);
      printf("Please enter the number of players (From 1 to 4: \n");
      scanf("%d", &numPlayers);
      for (players = 0; players < numPlayers; players++) {

        }
        printf("\n");
    
      }
      struct playerCards *userEnteredPlayerCount = NULL;
      userEnteredPlayerCount = (struct playerCards *) malloc(numPlayers * sizeof(struct playerCards));
      {
        for (players = 0; players < numPlayers; players++)  // assign two cards at a time to all players
        {
          for (i = 0; i < (PLAYERCARDS - FIRSTTWOATATIME); i++) {
            for (j = 0; j < NUMOFPROPERTIES; j++) {
              userEnteredPlayerCount[players].playersCardDeck[i][j] = deck[i][j];
            }
            row++;                  //indicates first rows elements are assigned to a player
          }
        }
        for (players = 0; players < numPlayers; players++)  // assign next three cards at a time to all players
        {

          for (i = row; i < PLAYERCARDS; i++) {

              userEnteredPlayerCount[players].playersCardDeck[i][j] = deck[i][j]; // assign the cards from deck variable
            }
          }
        }
      }
      return 0;
      printf("%d", userEnteredPlayerCount->playersCardDeck);
    }
    
    void InitDeck(int deck[NUMOFCARDS][NUMOFPROPERTIES])
    {
      int suit;
      int face;
      int row = 0;
      for (suit = 0; suit < 4; suit++)
        for (face = 0; face < 13; face++) {
          deck[row][0] = suit;
          deck[row][1] = face;
          row++;
        }
    }
    
    void ShuffleDeck(int deck[NUMOFCARDS][NUMOFPROPERTIES])
    {
      int src, dest, i;
      srand(time(NULL));
      for (i = 0; i < NUMOFCARDS; i++) {
        src = i;
        dest = rand() % NUMOFCARDS;
        SwapCards(deck, src, dest);
      }
    }
    
    void SwapCards(int deck[NUMOFCARDS][NUMOFPROPERTIES], int src, int dest)
    {
      int temp;
      temp = deck[src][0];
      deck[src][0] = deck[dest][0];
      deck[dest][0] = temp;
      temp = deck[src][1];
      deck[src][1] = deck[dest][1];
      deck[dest][1] = temp;
    }
    
    void PrintCard(int deck[NUMOFCARDS][NUMOFPROPERTIES], int i)
    {
      int tempsuit;
      int tempface;
      tempsuit = deck[i][0];
      tempface = deck[i][1];
      printf("Card %d = %s of %s\n", i + 1, face[tempface], suit[tempsuit]);
    }
    The whole 'NUMOFPROPERTIES' thing is a bodge when the homework is 'do this without using a struct' kind of pointless exercise.

    Given that you already know what a struct is, perhaps you can start with
    Code:
    struct card {
      int face;
      int suit;
    };

    From which it follows naturally
    Code:
    struct card deck[52];  // the whole deck
    struct card hand[13];  // one player's hand
    
    // or even
    struct card players[4][13];
    Given the small size of the data ranges, using malloc is an overkill and a complication you can well do without. Just make an array that's large enough.


    Oh, and you only need to call
    srand(time(NULL));
    exactly once in a program.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Since this is obviously an academic project rather than a real world project for which outsourcing is a valid option, paying for the code is academic dishonesty, so nope.

    Then you should immediately start by taking Salem's advice in post #2.

    If someone here helps you by simply doing the work for you, especially given that you offered to pay so it is more serious than simple plagiarism, and your teacher finds out about it, you might not only score zero for this particular assignment rather than the grade that you would have achieved, but possibly fail the entire class for academic dishonesty.

    What I would do in your shoes is this:
    • Make the formatting improvements suggested by Salem in post #2 and ensure that the resulting code compiles.
    • Put this code aside safely, then work on the other suggestions concerning the use of a struct. This will involve redoing your code a bit, which is why I suggest putting your code aside so that if you do fail to complete, you can submit your earlier compilable code.
