Setup
Three Of A Kind Poker

The setup was also explained in the first article of the mini-series, you can check that out here. There, you’ll also a detailed description of the data structures used. But here is a quick rundown of the data structures used in the code:

Card values
Card suits
Card
Card
Hand

And a hand is an array of Card objects:

Writing The Code To Identify A Three of a Kind

A three pair is similar to a pair, except you’re looking for three cards of the same value (rank) instead of two.

As you’ve done before, first you sort the cards by their rank, in descending order. We previously defined a “utilities” file, named CardMatchUtils.js, and added a function to it called, CardMatchUtils.SortCardsByDescendingValue, to help with that. You’ll be sorting the cards by descending value for all of the poker hands, so it’s very handy to have this reusable function.

You’ll also be using the “wild card”, which is a card that can assume the rank of any card. The image of the following hand would also qualify as a three of a kind:

The main function for the pseudocode for matching a three of a kind looks like:

As you can see, this function is very short and sweet, because of the CardsHaveSameValue function, which we previously wrote as the CardMatchUtils.DoCardsHaveSameValue function. If you haven’t seen CardMatchUtils.DoCardsHaveSameValue yet, that’s where the brunt of the work is done. This function determines if any cards in the hand have the same rank, specifying the number of cards we want to match, in this case, three.

Now time for a little fun 🙂
