Answer to Question #180800 in C++ for simisola oluwaseyitan alabi

Question

Utilize an array structure in conjunction to simulate our card deck. 

Use the following array structures to assist in representing a card: 

string face [13] = { "Ace ", "Deuce", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Jack", "Queen", "King"};

string suit[4] = {"Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", "Spade"};

Write a program that utilizes random number generation, just as you have in the past, to

generate a random face and random suit. This, of course, will be a “card”.

Use a loop to generate and print five cards.

Example Output:

Card 1: Five of Spades

Card 2: Queen of Hearts

Card 3: Seven of Spades

Card 4: Two of Clubs

Card 5: Ace of Diamonds
