So I'm building a version of Go Fish. I am done with all of the coding, but it won't run because in the Player class, I can't use a Card.rank parameter in methods. I understand that, but I still need to be able to input a rank somehow.
Look at my Card constructor and any instance of me trying to use a Player method where I need a rank input (Player.subSets and Player.searchHand). (I am also only showing one player's turn code to be concise.)

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String something = "yes", something2 = "yes", success = "yes"; //Use with while loops
String turn = "one";
String temp; //Use with setting names
String temp2, temp3; //For player being searched
Card temp4 = new Card(); //For player being searched
Card[] deck = new Card[52]; //Deck array
int playercount = 0;
Player one = new Player("temp");
Player two = new Player("temp");
Player three = new Player("temp");
Player four = new Player("temp");
//Start game
while (something.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"))
{
//Prepare game
Card.makeDeck(deck, rank, suit);
deck = Card.getDeck();
Card.shuffle(deck);
while (something2.equalsIgnoreCase("yes") || playercount < 2) //Add players to game

System.out.println("Would a(nother) player like to join?");
