Deck of Cards - Inheritance - EuchreDeck
Euchre is a card game that uses a modified deck of cards that only has the 9,10,J,Q,K,A of each suit. The ace is the highest value card. Each hand, a trump suit is selected. All cards of the trump suit have a higher value than any other suit. The Jack of the trump suit is the highest value card. The Jack of the other suit of the same color is the second highest value card.
Create a EuchreDeck class that extends DeckOfCards. Create a setTrumpSuit method that changes the values of the cards to match the rules above. The setTrumpSuit method should receive a suit as a parameter. If necessary, you may add a setValue() method to your Card class or you can change the value by replacing the card with a new card with the updated value. Create a main method to make a EuchreDeck, set its trump suit, and deal and print all cards that have a value at least that of the Nine of the trump suit.

Deck of Cards - Inheritance - WarDeck
Create a subclass of your Deck called WarDeck. The WarDeck class creates a standard 52 card deck with the Ace having the highest value descending to the 2 having the lowest value.
Create a GameOfWar class that has a WarDeck as the main deck instance data and two additional WarDeck instance data for player 1 and player 2.
- Write a constructor that creates the main WarDeck and two empty player WarDecks and then deals 26 cards to each player deck.
- Write a playRound that compares the top card of each player deck, places both cards at the bottom of the deck with the highest value card, and display the result showing which card each player dealt, who won the round, and how many cards are in each players deck after the round. If there is a tie, each player deals three face down cards and then compares the next card as a normal round. If a player runs out of cards, they lose the game.
- Write a main method that creates the GameOfWar object and then plays the game with user input after each hand to continue. When one player runs out of cards, display an end game message.
- Modify the main method so that the game plays 10 rounds before asking for user input.

ArrayList - Deck of Cards
Create a Card class that has instance data for suit, face, and value. The class needs a constructor that accepts the three values as parameters and methods for getSuit(), getFace() and getValue() as well as a toString() method that prints the card.
Create a Deck class that uses an ArrayList to store a standard 52 card deck of Card objects. Have a no parameter constructor that uses nested for loops to create the cards and add them to the ArrayList. The class needs methods to get the number of cards remaining, to shuffle the deck, and to deal a card from the top of the deck.

Hi-Lo Guessing Game
Design and implement an application that plays the Hi-Lo guessing game with numbers. The program should pick a random number between 1 and 100(inclusive), then keep asking the user to guess a number. On each guess, report to the user that he or she is correct, guess is high, or guess is low. Keep accepting guesses until the user guesses correctly or quits. Use a zero (0) guess for the user to quit. report the number of guesses made after the user guesses correctly. Ask the user if they want to play again and either select a new random number or end the program.

LeapYear
Design and implement an application that reads an integer value representing a year input by the user. The purpose of the program is to determine if the year is a leap year (and therefore has 29 days in February). A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, unless it is also divisible by 100, but not 400. The application must have a method called isLeapYear that receives the integer representing the year as a parameter and returns a boolean value. The main method of the application will handle user input and prints the result in the form "The year 1999 is not a leap year." or "The year 2016 is a leap year." Produce an error message for any input value less than 1582 (the year the Gregorian calendar was adopted.

Scope and Static Practice
Create a new class that represents a physical object. Create appropriate instance data. Include at least one static class variable. Create at least two constructors. On one of the constructors, use the same names for the parameters that you have for your instance data. Add appropriate methods for the object. Create a main method to test the object. Be sure to test the static class variable

Creating a Die class
In this assignment, you will design and implement a Die class. A single Die is one part of a pair of Dice. A Die normally has 6 sides, but more sides are possible. The purpose of a Die is to generate a random value from 1 to the number of sides of the Die object.
Design questions:
What instance data does a Die need?
You should have 2 constructors. How will they differ?
What can a Die do? For each method, what is the return type and what are the parameters?
Write the classes
Create the Die class in a Die.java file
Create a DieRunner class with a main method to test the Die class. In the main method you will create a 6 sided Die and one additional Die with the number of sides selected by the user. You will roll and display the result of each Die three times to show that it generates different random values.
Sample output:
Die has 6 sides
Roll 1 is a 4
Roll 2 is a 1
Roll 3 is a 6
Die has 14 sides
Roll 1 is a 12
Roll 2 is a 3
Roll 3 is a 9

Write an application called Average that has a main method and two helper methods. The first helper method is called average. It takes two int values as parameters and returns a double that is the average of the two values.
The second helper method is also called average (overloading). It takes three int values as parameters and returns a double that is the average of the three values.
The main method should print the result from calling each method in the form:
The average of ___ and ___ is ___.____
The average of ___ and ___ is ___.____
