Poker Hand Evaluator

This month’s challenge was suggested by Chris Derossi (Mountain View, CA). The goal is to compare two poker hands and determine which is higher. Your routine will be given two hands of 7 cards each. It will have to make the best 5 card hand it can from each and return the two 5-card hands as well as which is higher.

Here is how poker hands rank (from lowest to highest, with an example of each in parentheses):

one pair (5, 5, *, *, *)

two pair (5, 5, 8, 8, *)

three of a kind (5, 5, 5, *, *)

straight (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

flush (club, club, club, club, club)

full house (5, 5, 5, 8, 8)

four of a kind (5, 5, 5, 5, *)

straight flush (5, 6, 7, 8, 9; all clubs)

five of a kind (5, 5, 5, 5, wildCard)

The prototype of the function you write is:

typedef unsigned char Card;

typedef SevenCardHand {
 Card cards[7];
} SevenCardHand;

typedef FiveCardHand {
 Card cards[5];
} FiveCardHand;

short
ComparePokerHands(hand1Ptr, hand2Ptr,
 best1Ptr, best2Ptr, 
 wildCardAllowed, wildCard, 
 straightsAndFlushesValid,
 privateDataPtr)
SevenCardHand  *hand1Ptr;
SevenCardHand  *hand2Ptr;
FiveCardHand*best1Ptr;
FiveCardHand*best2Ptr;
Boolean  wildCardAllowed;
Card     wildCard;
Boolean  straightsAndFlushesValid;
void    *privateDataPtr;

A Card is a byte value (unsigned char) from 0 to 51 where 0 represents the 2 of clubs, 9 is the jack of clubs, 12 is the ace of clubs, 13 is the 2 of diamonds, 26 is the 2 of hearts, 39 is the 2 of spades and 51 is the ace of spades.

The inputs are two SevenCardHands (from the same deck; you won’t get duplicate Cards). Your routine should make the highest hand possible with 5 of the 7 cards and store the resulting hand in the two FiveCardHands. It should then return one of the following values: -1 if hand 1 is higher than hand 2, 0 if the hands are tied and 1 if hand 2 is higher than hand 1. Hands can be tied because suit counts for nothing when ranking hands. Aces can be high or low (whichever makes the resulting hand better).

WildCardAllowed is true if wild cards are allowed and false if not. If they are allowed then wildCard will be the card that is wild, from 0 to 12. All suits of that care are wild. For example, if wildCard is 4 then all 6’s are wild (Card values 4, 17, 30 and 43).

StraightsAndFlushesValid is true if straights and flushes are to be counted in the ranking. If it is false then straights and flushes do not count for anything (they are low hands).

PrivateDataPtr is the value returned by your Init routine, which is not timed, whose prototype is:

void *
ComparePokerHandsInit(wildCardAllowed, wildCard,
     straightsAndFlushesValid)
Boolean wildCardAllowed;
Card    wildCard;
Boolean straightsAndFlushesValid;

You can allocate up to 1MB of memory in your Init routine (in case you want to generate some lookup tables). The pointer you return will be passed to your ComparePokerHands routine.

E-mail me if you have any questions. Have fun.

Two Months Ago Winner

I had to disqualify two of the eight entries I received for the Huffman Decoding challenge because of incorrect results. Congratulations to Challenge Champion Bob Boonstra (Westford, MA) for earning his fifth win. The top four entrants each optimized their solutions for those cases where there was extra memory available. Greg McKaskle (Austin, TX) had a very strong showing for the extra memory case but his very-little-extra-memory case code came in 3rd place, preventing him from winning overall.

Here are the times and code sizes for each entry. Numbers in parens after a person’s name indicate how many times that person has finished in the top 5 places of all previous Programmer Challenges, not including this one:

Name 256K time8K time  code

Wolfgang Thaller (age 13) 40929    1090
Allen Stenger (7)103 103  440
Peter Hance 1211 1211188

From reading the winning code you may notice that even a master such as Bob has picked up at least one trick from studying previous Challenge winners. He chose to borrow the ‘switch-do-while’ idea from Bill Karsh’s SwapBytes entry (a neat trick, indeed). Glad to see it. After all, this column is meant to be educational (by teaching tricks by example) as much as it is a contest.

I’ve been getting more requests than usual to have access to the current Challenge before the magazine hits the streets (especially from people outside the US). Well, this being the 90’s and all, the latest Challenge is available on-line the day the magazines go out in the mail. Check out p. 2 for where to look on each of the online services.

Hope that helps. Here is Bob’s winning solution:

HuffmanDecode

Copyright (c) 1994  J Robert Boonstra

Problem Statement

Given a symbol table, decompress the Huffman encoded input stream and return the number of decompressed bytes.

Solution Strategy

Use the untimed initialization routine to create a tree structure corresponding to the sym values in the symbol table. In the timed decode routine, traverse the tree. When a leaf node is encountered, output the corresponding value, and begin traversing the tree again from the root.

We determine whether there is enough storage for the tree structure by trying to construct it. If there is not enough storage, set up a simple table of pointers into the symbol table based on symbol length. This is not especially efficient, but it produce correct results.

 * relative to the current tree position for efficiency
 * in calculating the address.  Note also that 16 bits are 
 * enough to access the max available 256K (64K nodes of 
 * 4 bytes each).  In cases where only 64K storage is used,
