title: Generating a Deck of Cards
body: <p>I'm trying to make a simple blackjack program. Sadly, I'm having problems right off the bat with generating a deck of cards.</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt;
  #include &lt;vector&gt;
  
  using namespace std;
  
  int main() {
      vector&lt;char&gt; deck;
      char suit[] = {'h','d','c','s'};
      char card[] = {'2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','J','Q','K','A'};
      for (int j=0; j&lt;13; j++) {
          for (int i=0; i&lt;4; i++) {
              deck.push_back(card[j] suit[i]);
          }       
      }
  
      return 0;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know my problem begins with me trying to assign the value '10' to a char. Obviously I couldn't get this to compile but I'm sure when I try to assign the card values to the vector deck I'll also get an error since I used variable type 'char'. Knowing what kind of variable type to use seems to be killing me. Also, would 'deck.push_back(card[j] suit[i]);' be the correct code to combine the card and suit, or do you have to put something between card[j] and suit[i]? I'd appreciate it if any of you could lead me in the right direction. Also as a little side note, this is part of a homework assignment so please don't just give me entire blocks of code. Thanks for your help.</p>
