Dec 10, 2013 at 13:20 comment added Michael Urman @SimonAndréForsberg While I agree with the intent of keeping things open (we don't need CR to become a targeted programming competition; it sees enough of those samples already), I don't see where this description says to find the best poker hand given a set of cards. It's not a huge leap to guess that's what retailcoder meant, but it's far from explicit. In a code review that's a scenario I'd push for the writer to add some comments or documentation. Anyway, thanks for clarifying the lack of clarity; it's fun to see the results. :)
Dec 10, 2013 at 9:29 comment added Simon Forsberg @MichaelUrman I have to agree with retailcoder. The important part of the challenge is to find the best poker hand given a set of cards. How big you want that set of cards to be and how much more features you want to add to it, that's up to you. (I included support for wildcards for example)

Dec 8, 2013 at 19:12 comment added Mathieu Guindon @Michael specs are purposely loose, so that we don't end up with 10 identical questions. As long as your code can tell the poker hands in a bunch of cards, you've got an entry :) last week all we knew was "implement the rock paper scissors lizard spock problem" - loose specs is part of what makes it fun, you never know how far people are going to push it!
Dec 8, 2013 at 17:29 comment added Michael Urman This challenge doesn't seem fully defined. What should code implementing this challenge do? Should it accept a representation of a hand and return something indicating which of the types of hands it contains? Should it compare two hands for a winner? Should it draw the above image?

Dec 5, 2013 at 23:24 comment added Gareth Rees There's nothing special about a royal flush in poker: it's just a straight flush to an ace.
