Are you supposed to create the classes and methods for the assignment or can you use existing java classes?
If you can use existing classes, read the API doc for LinkedList and also lookup the method shuffle.

Code:

static void cardList(int numHands,int cardsPerHand){
          List<String> deck,hand;
          //52-card deck

         Srting[] suit=new String[]{"S","H","D","C"};
         String[] rank=new String[]{"A","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","J","Q","K"};
         deck=new ArrayList<String>();
         for(int i=0;i<deck.length;i++){
			for(int j=i;j<deck.length;j++){
				deck.add(rank[i]+"-"+suit[j]);
			}
		}
		Collections.shuffle(deck);//shuffles the heap of the crads

               //dealing the cards
              for(int i=0;i<numHands;i++){
                        hand=deck.subList(deck.size()-cardsPerHand,deck.size());
                        System.out.println(hand);
                        //hand.clear();//removes the sub-list from the list
}
}

Look, the parameter numHands is how much people are playing the card game,and parameter cardsPerHand indicates the amount the cards to deal to each player.
