This sounds suspiciously like a University assignment. Back in the USENET days, our tutors used to say that we were allowed to post questions to alt.programming.whatever - but we had to show that we'd put some thought into the question and explain where we got stuck. Think of it like StackOverflow - if you post "how do I do X" you won't get great responses. But if you write "I'm trying to do X. Using software Y fails with error Z. Googling the error suggests I need ... but I already have that installed. What should I do next?" you'll get better responses. So, what ways have you tried to store a poker hand? What problems have you encountered?
