Understanding Card Game Program Design

The video tutorial guides viewers through designing a program with functions and nested calls to create a card game. It covers drawing random cards and hands, generating random suits and ranks, handling errors, and ensuring consistent data types. Advanced features like enabling or disabling face cards are discussed, along with the limitations of the current approach, such as the possibility of drawing duplicate cards.

What is the primary goal of the program discussed in the video?

• To simulate a poker game

• To create a program that can play various card games

• To develop a chess game

• To design a solitaire game

What is the purpose of the draw hand function?

• To shuffle the deck of cards

• To draw a specific number of cards from the deck

• To sort the cards in a hand

• To deal cards to multiple players

How does the program ensure that each card in a hand is displayed on a separate line?

• By using a tab character

• By using a space character

• By using a new line character

• By using a comma separator

What are the two components of a playing card as described in the video?

• Color and number

• Suit and rank

• Shape and size

• Type and value

Which module is imported to help generate random numbers for card suits and ranks?

• math

• random

• os

• sys

What is a stack trace used for in programming?

• To track memory usage

• To debug errors by showing the path of execution

• To optimize code performance

• To manage user inputs

What issue does the program face when returning the rank of a card?

• Returning a boolean instead of a string

• Returning a float instead of an integer

• Returning a string instead of a boolean

• Returning an integer instead of a string

How can face cards be excluded from the deck in the program?

• By using an integer parameter

• By using a float parameter

• By using a boolean parameter

• By using a string parameter

What is a potential limitation of the current card deck model?

• It allows duplicate cards in a hand

• It does not support multiple players

• It cannot shuffle the deck

• It cannot handle more than 52 cards

Why might the current card deck model be considered a feature in some games?

• Because it prevents card counting

• Because it supports multiple decks

• Because it simplifies the rules

• Because it allows for faster gameplay
