What is Blackjack?
Blackjack, also known as twenty-one, is the most widely played casino banking game in the world. Blackjack is a comparing card game between a player and dealer, meaning players compete against the dealer but not against other players. It is played with one or more decks of 52 cards. The objective of the game is to beat the dealer in one of the following ways:
- Get 21 points on the player’s first two cards (called a “blackjack” or “natural”), without a dealer blackjack;
- Get exactly 21 points anytime in the game.
- Reach a final score higher than the dealer without exceeding 21; or
- Let the dealer draw additional cards until his or her hand exceeds 21.
If the play goes over 21, they lose, regardless of the dealers hand.
The strategy the deal employs is to draw another card whenever they have less than 17.
Here is a link to a small web based version of the game: BlackJack
You are to create a program that plays Blackjack with the computer playing the dealer. The game starts with the dealer drawing two cards and showing only the first, and the player draws two cards, and showing them both. The game then enters a cycle with the playercan choose to either “stand” (stay with the current cards) or hit (get another card). The dealer also continues to hit until he either goes bust (over 21) or stands (when he hit 17 or above). The goal is to either get 21 exactly, or to be the closest to 21 without going over (and thus bust). If the scores are the same, there is a tie, called a “push”.
The scoring of card values is as follows. Number cards are worth their face value. Face cards are worth 10. And the ace is either worth 1 or 11, whichever is omre favorable.
