Lab 13 – A
ays
In this lab you will practice working with a
ays. A
ays allow you to group data of the same type
together using one variable name and index numbers to access each of the elements.
Example Program
The example program for this lab is a rewritten version of Lab 12. In the Reference Parameters lab you
wrote a program that found the average of 5 judges' scores, minus the minimum and maximum score.
You had to repeat a lot of code in that lab in order to get input from each judge, and to find the
minimum and maximum values.
The example program uses an a
ay to store the judges' scores. This allows us to use for loops to get the
input, to find the minimum and maximum, and to take the sum. A huge benefit of using a
ays is that we
can make the functions that find the minimum and maximum, and that take the average, more general.
These functions can now use an a
ay of numbers of any size (not just 5). The number of judges is set by
a constant at the top of the source file. If you want to run the program with more (or fewer) judges, all
we have to do is change the value of that constant, and everything else will change automatically. Try it
out!
Download the AverageScore_A
ay.cs file, examine the code, and run the program. Pay attention to
how to use a
ays as a parameter to a function. Notice that in addition to the a
ay, another variable is
always included to specify the size of the a
ay.
Your Program
For your program you will complete code that plays the War card game. In this game, the deck of cards
is evenly divided among two players. The players are not allowed to look at the cards in their hand. On
each round of the game, both players lay down the top card from their hand. The player with the higher
value card wins both cards and places the cards on the bottom of his hand. For our version of the game,
in the case of a tie, each player places their card back at the bottom of their hand (the real game has
different rules for ties). Game play continues until one of the players has all of the cards.
In order to simplify our program, our "deck" is a series of random numbers ranging from 1 to 13
(because a real deck of cards has 13 values). The size of the deck is set by a constant. This game can take
a long time to play, so a deck size of 10 cards is a reasonable size for testing the game. You can change
the deck size if you wish, although larger numbers will likely take much longer to finish.
The main function is provided to you in warGame.cs. You should not make any modifications to this
function, or to the other two functions provided (to print the results of each round of the game, and to
create the "deck" of cards.) You will write two functions, described below.
Remember to write small parts of the program at a time and test each part before moving on to the next
part.

Function 1: Deal the Cards. This function takes the deck of cards and splits it between the two players
y alternately dealing a card to each player. Note that the a
ay for each player's hand is the same size
of the deck. This is because we need to be able to store all cards in the winner's hand. Therefore, the
a
ay for each player's hand is a partially filled a
ay. In the main function I initialized all elements of the
players' hand a
ays to zero. In our game, when an a
ay element has the value zero it indicates that
there is no card at that index. All of the cards must be placed at the beginning of the a
ay. An example
of a deck dealt to two players is shown below.
Deck:
XXXXXXXXXX9
Player 1's Hand:
XXXXXXXXXX
Player 2's Hand:
XXXXXXXXXX
Function 2: Shift the Cards Forward. This function moves all cards in a hand one place forward,
emoving the first card and setting the value of the last card to zero. This simulates a player removing a
card from her hand. An example of a hand of cards before and after shifting is shown below.
Before shift:
XXXXXXXXXX
After shift:
XXXXXXXXXX
Challenge
I think this one will be challenging enough… If you complete this lab, I’ll throw in the 10 bonus points for
free.
