Thread: Card shuffle program

Hello I'm getting an error in my code here
what I'm trying to do is output a shuffle of 5 cards e.g 4 of diamonds in red

package javacards;
 
import java.util.Random;
 
public class Deck {
	private Card[] cards;
	int i;
 
	Deck()
	{
		i=5;
		cards = new Card[52];
		int x=0;
 
		for (int a=0; a<=12; a++)
		{
			for (int b=0; b<=3; b++)
			{
				for (int c=0; c<=1; c++)	<------- it appears this is the problem but I don't know why
/*
This is the error I get 
 
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 52
	at javacards.Deck.<init>(Deck.java:21)
	at javacards.TestPoker.main(TestPoker.java:7)
 
*/		
				 {			  
				cards[x] = new Card(a,b,c); 
				   x++;
				 }
			}
		}
	}
 
	public Card drawFromDeck()
	{
		Random generator = new Random();
		int index=0;
 
		do {
			index = generator.nextInt( 52 );
		} while (cards[index] == null);
 
		i--;
		Card temp = cards[index];
		cards[index]= null;
		return temp;
	}
 
	public int getTotalCards()
	{
		return i;
	}
}

My problem is I'm not sure where to fix this

Ok I got it working when I replace 52 with 104

My output is

7 of diamonds in black
4 of diamonds in red
Jack of spades in black
9 of hearts in black
Jack of hearts in red

and changes everytime I compile it

Thanks a lot Norm!
