Card Game

[abby0910]

Hi I am trying to make a Card game where there are 2 inputs and it decides who is the winner.. But what I am having problem with is taking an input as A or J or Q or K and assigning their respective values i.e. 14, 11,1 2, 13.. If anybody could help it would be great.

package cardGame;

import javax.swing.*;


public class cardGame {	

	public static void main (String args[]){
		int card1;
		int card2;
		String input;
			
		input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter first Card: ");
		card1 = Integer.parseInt(input);
		
		input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter second Card: ");
		card2 = Integer.parseInt(input);
		
		if (card1 == card2){ //Checks if 2 cards are equal
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "It's a Tie");
			return;
		}
		double large;
		large = Math.max(card1,card2);
		if (card1 == large){//Checks the winner
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "First Player Wins");		
		} else if (card2 == large){
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Second Player Wins");
		} 
	}
}

an input as A or J or Q or K and assigning their respective values i.e. 14, 11,12, 13.

One way is to have a String: "JQKA" and use the indexOf method.
If the returned value is > -1, add 11 to it. 11 being the value of for the first char: "J"
