But the five-card hand including the quads also has a kicker. Since there are only four suits in a deck, it means there can’t be five of a kind. Normally, a winning hand must consist of five cards.
It ranks after the very best hand of a royal flush and the second-best hand of a straight flush. Here are some examples: A, A, A, A, 5 J, J . Four-of-a-kind is the third-best hand in poker.
Here is my final solution thanks to the answers below: /** Four cards in a Four of a Kind hand are the same rank, along with an extra fifth card which can be any rank. How can I improve this formula, or even, what is a better formula I can use?īy the way, in my code, hands are stored in an array of each card's value in ascending order, for example: This results in a draw, when clearly a pair of 7s trumps a pair of 6s. These two hands both have one pair, so their respective scores are: 100000 + 4^1 + 6^2 + 11^1 + 13^1 = 100064 An example of this is: hand1 = 4C, 6C, 6H, JS, KC This formula works for the most part, but I have determined that in some instances, two similar hands can return the exact same score, when one should actually beat the other.

So, for a Full House of three Queens and two 7s, the score would be: 600000 + 12^3 + 7^2 So for example, the following formula could be used to score a hand: HAND_TYPE + (each card value in the hand)^(the number of occurences of that value) Then if two hands of the same type are compared, the values of the cards in the hands should be factored into the hand's score. The example solution we were given was to give a default score for each type of Poker hand, with the score reflecting how good the hand is - like this for instance: //HAND TYPES: The score of a hand is based solely on the 5 cards in the hand, and no other cards in the deck. The score of a hand has nothing to do with the probability of what hands could be made upon the draw being dealt with random cards, etc. If more than one player has the same Four of a Kind, the highest ranked kicker (the fifth card) determines the winner.I am developing a poker game as college project and our current assignment is to write an algorithm to score a hand of 5 cards, so that the scores of two hands can be compared to each other to determine which is the better hand. Five of a Kind A five of a kind (which is only possible when using wild cards) is the highest possible hand. For example, four 6s (plus an extra card) represent a stronger hand than four 5s (plus an extra card), but a weaker one than four 7s (plus an extra card). The rank of a Four of a Kind hand is determined by the value of the four cards, so if multiple players each have Four of a Kind the higher ranked quads would win. Hand Description One pairing of the same card. Hand Description Two different pairings or sets of the same card in one hand. Hand Description Three of one card and two non-paired cards. Hand Description Five cards in numerical order, but not of the same suit. Hand Description Five cards, all in one suit, but not in numerical order.
