Question

A Java Problem.

E5.19 Write a program that takes user input describing a playing card in the following shorthand notation: А Ace 2... 10 Card values Jack Queen King Diamonds Hearts Spades Clubs Your program should print the full description of the card. For example, Enter the card notation: QS Queen of Spades Implement a class Card whose constructor takes the card notation string and whose getDescription method returns a description of the card. If the notation string is not in the correct format, the getDescription method should return the string "Unknown".

            "Jack", "Queen", "King"};


    private String suit;
    private String rank;

    public Card(String rank, String suit) {
        this.suit = suit;
        this.rank = rank;
    }

    public String getDescription() {

        String suitName = "";
        for (String suits : SUITS) {
            if (suits.substring(0, 1).equals(suit)) {
                suitName = suits;
                break;
            }
        }

        String rankName = "";
        for (String ranks : RANKS) {
            if (rank.equals(ranks.substring(0, 1))) {
                rankName = ranks;
                break;
            }
        }

        if (suitName.length() != 0 && rankName.length() != 0)
            return rankName + " of " + suitName;
        else return "Unknown";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter the card notation: ");
        String notation = scanner.nextLine();
        Card card = new Card(notation.substring(0,1),notation.substring(1));
        System.out.println(card.getDescription());


    }
}
