Rank
The rank class is a simple enumeration class representing the rank of a playing card. I require (and enforce) specific numeric values for the ranks so that we can share data easily between languages. To accommodate most European and American types of playing cards, I assign the following numeric values:
| Value | Rank |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ace (low) |
| 2 | Deuce |
| 3 | Trey |
| 4 | Four |
| 5 | Five |
| 6 | Six |
| 7 | Seven |
| 8 | Eight |
| 9 | Nine |
| 10 | Ten |
| 11 | Jack / Under |
| 12 | Knight / Cavalier |
| 13 | Queen / Ober |
| 14 | King |
| 15 | Ace (high) |
Aces are high by default; hands being read from text files, for example, will put aces into the 15 rank. But many games play aces low, so I reserve the 1 rank for those games and put aces there to make comparisons faster. The library makes this nearly automatic for most games.
Jokers do not have a rank. See Card for their representation.
