Answer to Question #246731 in C++ for Omegax

Question

Create a constructor that will allow anyone using the class to set the initial value of the card's suit and rank.

Create a method that will get a cards value.  This should be based on the card's rank.

2-10 will use that as their value

face cards will use 10 as their value

Aces will have a value of 11

Aces will have an alternate value of 1

Make a method that will get a cards alternate value.  This is based on Black Jack where Ace's can be 11 or 1.

If a card doesn't have an alternate value this method should return the card's normal value.

 Create a static method that takes in two cards and returns -1, 0, or 1 based on comparing those card's values.

-1 means card 1 has a higher value

0 means the cards have the same value

1 means card 2 has a higher value

Make getter methods for the card's rank and suitMake a method to draw the card's face at a specific location on the screen passed into the method as an x and y value.
