Best Poker Hand Lab
In this lab, you will work on a problem related to the popular card game of poker. You are given an integer array ranks
and a character array suits
, representing the ranks and suits of 5 cards. Your task is to create a function bestHand(ranks, suits)
that returns a string representing the best type of poker hand you can make with the given cards. Remember that the return values are case-sensitive.
The following are the types of poker hands you can make from best to worst:
"Flush"
: Five cards of the same suit."Three of a Kind"
: Three cards of the same rank."Pair"
: Two cards of the same rank."High Card"
: Any single card.
Examples
1bestHand([13,2,3,1,9], ["a","a","a","a","a"]) 2// Output: "Flush" 3// Explanation: The hand consists of 5 cards with the same suit, so we have a "Flush". 4 5bestHand([4,4,2,4,4], ["d","a","a","b","c"]) 6// Output: "Three of a Kind" 7// Explanation: The hand consists of 3 cards with the same rank, so we have a "Three of a Kind". 8 9bestHand([10,10,2,12,9], ["a","b","c","a","d"]) 10// Output: "Pair" 11// Explanation: The hand consists of 2 cards with the same rank, so we have a "Pair".
Constraints
ranks.length == suits.length == 5
1 <= ranks[i] <= 13
'a' <= suits[i] <= 'd'
- No two cards have the same rank and suit.
Note: You will need to export the bestHand
function in order to run the evaluation script. You can do this by adding the following line at the end of your code:
export default bestHand;
Once you have completed the implementation of the bestHand
function, the evaluation script will automatically test your solution against several test cases to ensure it is correct. Good luck!
