Day 11: The Balckjack Capstone Project - Solution
1st Capstone project complete.
Day 11 Continuation
As I noted on my 1st day 1 post, my plan was to break down this project into multiple parts. I worked on it throughout the weekend and finally finished it up. I will say, while I was able to get through a bit of the project without the hints, I still needed to utilize them when I got stuck which happened a decent amount of times ๐ . Nonetheless, I know where I need to practice and will be doing so before moving on to Day 12.

# The deck is unlimited in size.

# The Jack/Queen/King all count as 10.
# The the Ace can count as 11 or 1.
# Use the following list as the deck of cards:

# The cards in the list have equal probability of being drawn.
# Cards are not removed from the deck as they are drawn.
