I am attempting to write a 3 card poker game and have ran into a " The type of the expression must be an array type but it resolved to int" error that I am baffled by. The error does not seem to like the way I have done my counters but I am pretty new at coding and do not understand what the error is saying. If I had to guess I would say its my methods but I am pretty clueless when it comes to java. There are 3 spots below that I am getting the error. I have included the portion giving me trouble and the the whole set of code below it. Any help is appreciated.
//This method will determine if the player has a pair
public static int pair(String main)
{
int check = 0;
int card1;
int card2;
for(int counter = 1; counter <3; counter++) //error here
{
if (card1[counter - 1] == card2[counter])
{
check++;
}
}
if (check == 1)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
//This method will tell the player if he has a high card
public static int highcard(String main)
{
int highcard = 0;
int card1;
int card2;
for (int counter = 0; counter < 3; counter++)
{
if (card1[counter] > highcard) // error here
{
highcard = card1[counter]; // error here
}
}
return highcard;
