Thread: my programs- Card and CardTest

hi,

i'm writing a program called Card and its tester, CardTest. i find it very difficult to handle the input from the user in between these two programs.

CardTest reads in a card value in such a format: 4S (meaning 4 of spades)

in my Card class, there is a method called getDescription() that returns a String variable with the value of the card.

so, in my Card class, there are a number of important things, notably:

the constructor

public Card()
{
  String value, suit;
}

and the method

public String getDescription()
{
sdkfa;dsjf i can figure out most of the logic
}

in CardTest,
i can say

String cardName = in.nextString(); //the variable to hold the user inputed card
Card card = new Card(System.in);
card.getDescription(cardName) <-------

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
is this the right way to send the user input into the method??? i'm very confused. if not, how can i send user input into the method getDescription?

by the way, this does have to be done in separate classes..

You need to declare the method signature to take in parameters before passing them.

public Card(String cardName)
{
     // constructor code
}
