Hi all.
My first post... looking fo help on a school project.

I'm making a backjack game. I have a Card object that keeps the info about value, suit and card name. I want to make a Deck now with an arrayList containing all the cards I'll need. I don't want to spend so much time writing out the declaring, creating and arrayList adding for EACH card..

soo I tried to make a for each loop that would make up the names of the variable from 2 more arrayLists containing Strings for suit and card name...
umm.. I'll post some code and maybe that will explain better.. bha, it's hard for me to explain..

Thanks for any help you can give!!

Code:

        
        suitNames = new ArrayList<String>();
        suitNames.add("spades");
        suitNames.add("clubs");
        suitNames.add("diamonds");
        suitNames.add("hearts");
        
        cardNames = new ArrayList<String>();
        cardNames.add("Ace");
        cardNames.add("King");
        cardNames.add("Queen");
        cardNames.add("Jack");
        cardNames.add("Ten");
        cardNames.add("Nine");
        cardNames.add("Eight");
        cardNames.add("Seven");
        cardNames.add("Six");
        cardNames.add("Five");
        cardNames.add("Four");
        cardNames.add("Three");
        cardNames.add("Two");


        int count = 13;
        int value = 11;

        for (String suitName : suitNames) {
            for (String cardName : cardNames) {
                switch (count) {
                    case 13: value = 11; break;
                    case 12:
                    case 11:
                    case 10:
                    case 9: value = 10; break;
                    case 8: value = 9; break;
                    case 7: value = 8; break;
                    case 6: value = 7; break;
                    case 5: value = 6; break;
                    case 4: value = 5; break;
                    case 3: value = 4; break;
                    case 2: value = 3; break;
                    case 1: value = 2; break;
                    default: break;
                }
                
            ??(suitName + cardName) = new Card(cardName, suitName, value);??
            }
            count = 13;
        }
