General game in Java

Question

Good afternoon guys, I’m doing the General’s game (java dice). I am in doubt on how to compare the data between them.

Sequel Possible sequences: 1-2-3-4-5 / 2-3-4-5-6 / 3-4-5-6-1 Number of points: 20

Full-Hand The number x in 3 data and the number y in the remaining two (for x different from y) Number of points: ( 3 * x + 2 * y ) + 30

Court The number x in four different data Number of points: ( 4 * x ) + 40

General The number x in the five dice Number of points: ( 5 * x ) + 50

Simple Combinations For each number from 1 to 6 the player can score points as in the example: Ex: If the player has the following sequence of numbers: 2 3 2 2 5

So far I’ve been able to take the test to see if you’re a general:

 public int VerificarDados()
{
    int aux=1;
    int q=0,u;
    for(q=0;q<5;q++)
    {
        if(dados[q]==dados[q+1])
        {
            aux++;
        }
    }
    numRept=dados[1];
    if(aux==5)
    {
        return 5; //general
    }

Could someone give me some hint how to make the other comparisons? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Store in an array of 6 elements the number of occurrences of each given (example: if three numbers 1 came out, store in the first house of the array the value 3; if four numbers 6 came out, store in the last house of the array the value 4).

Then you go through the array in search of each condition you want (look for the occurrence of 5 numbers, if you find it is a General; look for the occurrence of 3 numbers and the occurrence of 2 numbers, if you find both is Full-hand, otherwise it is a simple combination; and so on.
