Deck of Cards Shuffling
You are given a list containing multiple decks of cards, where each deck consists of 52 unique cards. The total number of cards, n, is guaranteed to be a multiple of 52. Each card is represented as a structure containing two fields: suit and rank. Write a function to shuffle all the cards together using a custom algorithm that mimics manual shuffling.
Constraints
- The total number of cards,
n, is guaranteed to be a multiple of 52, indicating that there are multiple decks. - Each card has a suit and a rank.
- Suits are one of "Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", "Spades".
- Ranks are one of "A", "2", "3", ..., "10", "J", "Q", "K".
Function Signature
std::list<Card> shuffleAllDecks(const std::list<Card>& all_decks);
Input
The input all_decks is a std::list of Card structures containing one or more decks of cards. All the decks are combined into a single list for shuffling.
Output
Return a std::list<Card> where all the cards from the input have been shuffled together.
all_decks = [
{"Hearts", "A"}, {"Hearts", "2"}, {"Hearts", "3"}, ..., {"Spades", "K"},
{"Hearts", "A"}, {"Hearts", "2"}, {"Hearts", "3"}, ..., {"Spades", "K"}
]
return = [
{"Diamonds", "J"}, {"Hearts", "3"}, {"Clubs", "A"}, ...., {"Hearts", "4"}
]The function should simulate the shuffling of all cards combined by thoroughly mixing the cards from all decks together, mimicking the randomness of manual shuffling.
public String[][] shuffelAllDecks (String[][] all_decks) {
// Write your code here:)
