Answer to Question #176791 in C++ for simisola oluwaseyitan alabi

Question

Convert the Deal Opening Hand program from Chapter 5 to incorporate functions to perform the two core tasks of 1) creating a card, and 2) determining the winner. The solution to Chapter 5 (Version 2 – Looping version) is attached, and you should use it as a baseline. You will need to take the functionality that is used to create a card and incorporate it into a function (create_card) that generates a card (suit, face, value) and returns these values to the calling/main program, that will then use these “card values” to 1) Print the card as in previous versions, and 2) use the value of each card as part of the calculation for the total hand value for each of the hands (total value for player hand and total value for dealer's hand) that is then passed to a function (highest_hand). The highest_hand function will then determine who has the highest hand and return who this is to the calling function, which will then print who has the highest hand, as in previous versions.
