Hi I need Help in C++ making a default and copy constructor for these classes.


Class Deck
{
Card cards [52];
}

Class Card
{
private:
int value;
int suit;
public:
void getvalue();
void getsuit();
}

Can you help me...
Thanks!

P.S. If you have any other questions...I can answer them

The default constructor is something like this:

Card(arguments)
{
   ...
   ...
   ...
}

Notice, no return type. It can have arguments and if it does you initalize a new instance as such:

Card card(arg1, arg2)

THe copy contructor looks something like this:

Card(Card& card)
{
   ...
   ...
   ...
}

That is the only argument that the copy constructor can have. Finally, both the copy constructor and the default constructor must be declared as public in the class. Hope this helps.

Yeah i understand this....but im having problems figuring out what goes inside...I'm supposed to make a blackjack game. I know i need to have a card class, a deck class, a player class, and a house class. but i am not sure what to put inside them, and i dont know wht to put in the definitions of the default and copy constructors.

From my understanding it looks like you will need only a constructor for the deck class. Therefore, inside of the deck constructor have a while or for loop to assgin a suit and value to each card. This is how I would do it:

#define SPADE 1
#define CLUB 2
#define HEART 3
#define DIAMOND 4
Deck()
{
   int n_card = 0;
   int n_value = 2;
   while(n_card < 13) {
      cards[n_card].value = n_value;
      cards[n_card].suit = SPADE;
      n_card++;
      n_value++;
   }
   ...
   ...
}
