Loop with number

for card game

[thegreatpretender]

I am creating a simple local card game and stalled with one function.

I am trying to check an array of numbers to see if it's "straight", eg. 789 or 34567.

for (i=0; i<cardArray.length; i++){

var s=Number(cardArray[i+1])-Number(cardArray[i]);

if(Number(s)==1){
var cardCheck="valid";

}else{
var cardCheck="notvalid";

}

}

The above code sometimes work sometimes not. Appreciate your help.. Thanks

As cardCheck is set each time, the final value depends only on last 2 cards.

Use innocent until proved otherwise method.

var cardCheck="valid";
for (var i=0; i<(cardArray.length-1); i++){
var s=Number(cardArray[i+1])-Number(cardArray[i]);
if(s!==1){cardCheck="notvalid";}
}

You will need to also that there are at least 2 cards

I also want to check the card suits if all are the same. I have an array of cards suits and would like to find out if all the values are the same. Thanks a lot for the help.

Much the same

var suiteCheck="valid";
for (var i=0; i<(suiteArray.length-1); i++){
if( suiteArray[i+1] !== suiteArray[i] ){suiteCheck="notvalid";}
}
