Help with arrays and methods and constructors

[mjfitches]

I have been set an assignment to design a simple blackjack game for 2 players and to assign values for each card dealt to them, based on a points system which each card is worth. Due to being unwell and missing a lot of the lectures I am finding this really difficult! Anybody have any advice on my code?

import java.util.Random;

public class JavaApplication23 {
class pickRand{
public static String get(String[] array) {
int rnd = generator.nextInt(array.length);
return array[rnd];
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String [] card = new String [52];
String[] cards = { "Ace","Ace","Ace","Ace", "2","2","2","2", "3","3","3","3", "4","4","4","4", "5","5","5","5", "6","6","6","6", "7","7","7","7", "8","8","8","8", "9","9","9","9", "10","10","10","10", "Jack","Jack","Jack","Jack", "Queen","Queen","Queen","Queen", "King","King","King","King" };
String ret = pickRand.get(cards);
}


static class Player{
int PN;
int hV;
boolean BJ;
int PS;
Player(int PlayerName, int handValue, boolean BlackJack, int PlayerScore)
{this.PN=PlayerName;
this.hV=handValue;
this.BJ=BlackJack;
this.PS=PlayerScore;
}
}
System.out.println("Welcome to Black Jack! Player 1 enter 1 to begin the game.");

First, you should include your code in [code][/code] tags to make it easier for folks to read.

Second, have you discussed this with your instructor. S/he should be able and willing to help you since you have been ill.

As far as your code goes, just start slow. First, simply write some code to

1. Generate a random number.
2. Index into array to get the card
3. Display the card.

Stay away from the inner class as you don't need it (at least not for now).
