Problem 54010. Evaluate Poker Hand
Given an input table of card values and card suits between five and thirteen cards, choose the best five cards and output the rank and an array of kickers (most significant first). Report rank as follows: straight flush=1, four-of-kind=2, full-house=3, flush=4, straight=5, three-of-kind=6, two pairs=7, pair=8, high card=9. Report array of kickers as the value of the most important cards first (some hands will only have a single kicker while others might have five different kickers). Values of cards are as follows: 2:10,jack,queen,king,ace == 1:13. Suits of cards are as follows: clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades == 1:4.
Example:
hand=table([9 3 10 7 13 12 11]',[3 2 3 4 3 3 3]');
hand.Properties.VariableNames={'value','suit'};
[rank,kickers]=evalHand(hand)
rank =
1
kickers =
13
