Thread: Black Jack Statistics game? lost.

Hey everyone I'm writing a program that simulates a blackjack game not a playable game but one to find the statistics if you win or lose and find the percents. This is as far as i have gotten and I'm not stuck and at a complete loss. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful.

PHP Code:

import java.util.*; 
public class BlackjackSkeletonNoRand {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String outcome;
        int trials = 100;
        int wins = 0, losses = 0, pushes = 0;
        int rand=(int)(13*Math.random()+1);
        
        //Starts the loop for each trial and prints if its a win or a loss.
        for ( int i = 1; i <= trials; i++){
            outcome = blackjack(rand);
            System.out.println("The player has a " + outcome + "\n");
            if ( outcome.equals("win"))
                wins++;
            else if (outcome.equals("loss"))
                losses++;
            else
                pushes++;                
        }

        System.out.println("For " + trials 
                        + " hands of blackjack, the totals are:\n"
                        + "wins = " + wins + "\nlosses = " + losses 
                        + "\npushes = " + pushes);
        System.out.println("% wins = " + (double) wins/trials * 100 
                        + "      % losses = " + (double)losses/trials  * 100
                        + "    % house advantage = " 
                        + (double)(losses - wins)/trials * 100);    
    }

    // Returns "win", "loss" or "push"

        else

And what's the question? What's not working? Where are you stuck? Be specific.
