Symbol can not be found in card class

Here I created a Card class that gives a value of suit and rank to a card I also created a Deck class that gives 52 cards, one of the standard playing cards, a shuffle method, deal method, report method( to report number left in deck) and toString method. My problem is in my Deck class when i try to make a new deck of cards. I receive this error from the Deck class:
Deck.java:12: error: cannot find symbol
for (int suit = Card.DIAMONDS; suit <= Card.SPADES; suit++)
symbol: variable DIAMONDS
location: class Card
Deck.java:12: error: cannot find symbol
for (int suit = Card.DIAMONDS; suit <= Card.SPADES; suit++)
symbol: variable SPADES
I've tried changing Card.DIAMONDS to Suit.DIAMONDS and that gave me another error. Any help as to what method my problem is in would be appreciate. This is a learning experience for me so Id like guidance not exact solutions.

public void Deck( ) {
deckOfCards = new Card[ NEWCARDS ];

Card temp = deckOfCards[i];
deckOfCards[i] = deckOfCards[j];
deckOfCards[j] = temp;
}
currentCard = 0;
}
public Card deal() {
if (currentCard < NEWCARDS) {
return ( deckOfCards[currentCard++] );
}
else{
System.out.println("Out of cards error");
return ( null );
}
}
public String toString() {
String s = "";
int k;
k = 0;
for ( int i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
for ( int j = 1; j <= 13; j++ )
s += (deckOfCards[k++] + " ");
s += "\n";
}
return (s);
}
}

The enum is not part of the class. It's also not an int. Change
for (int suit = Card.DIAMONDS; suit <= Card.SPADES; suit++)
to access Suit, and you need ordinal() to assign to an int. Something like
for (int suit = Suit.DIAMONDS.ordinal(); suit <= Suit.SPADES.ordinal(); suit++) {
Suit s = Suit.values()[suit];
// ...
}

Building card game need same cards to match in value

I am building a war card game for an assignment I have the game built and it is working but I am running into the issue such as card 10 jack of spades is less in value as say card 23 the jack of hearts. Looking for advice about the best way to be able to compare the cards to see if they are equal.
Below is the code I have so far:
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class WarGame {
public static void main(String a[]) {
DeckOfCards d = new DeckOfCards();
int input = 0;
int computer = 0;
int you = 0;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("\n1.To play\n2.Exit\nEnter the choice:");
input = sc.nextInt();
while (input != 2) {
if (input == 1) {
System.out.print("\n\nEnter the value of the card:");
int card = sc.nextInt();
if (card >= 0 && card <= 51) {
int systemCard = d.computerTurn(card);
System.out.println("Your card - " + d.inputCard(card));
System.out.println("Computer card - " + d.inputCard(systemCard));
if(systemCard > card)
++computer;
else
++you;
System.out.println("The winner is " + (systemCard > card ? "Computer" : "You"));
} else {
System.out.println("Invalid card");
}
}
else {
System.out.println("That is an invalid selection please choose 1 or 2.");
}
System.out.print("\n1.To play\n2.Exit\nEnter the choice:");
input = sc.nextInt();
}
System.out.println("Total Wins by Computer: "+ computer);
System.out.println("Total Wins by You: "+ you);
if (computer > you)
System.out.println("Computer is the champion");
else if (computer == you)
System.out.println("Its a Tie");
else
System.out.println("You are the champion");
}
}
class DeckOfCards {
String suits[] = {"Spades", "Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs"};
Random ran = new Random();
int systemWin = 0;
int playerWin = 0;
String inputCard(int card) {
int suit = card / 13; //assigning suit to your card
int rank = card % 13; //Assigning rank to your card
String out = "";
switch (rank) { //Setting up face cards for the cases
case 0:
out = "Ace of " + suits[suit];
break;
case 10:
out = "Jack of " + suits[suit];
break;
case 11:
out = "Queen of " + suits[suit];
break;
case 12:
out = "King of " + suits[suit];
break;
default:
out = rank + 1 + " of " + suits[suit]; //Adding one to remainder so it will go from 2-10 instead of 1-9
break;
}
return out;
}
int computerTurn(int playerRank) { //Keeping track of the wins for computer and player
int systemRank = this.ran.nextInt(51);
if (systemRank > playerRank)
systemWin++;
else
playerWin++;
return systemRank;
}
}

I think you're comparing the index to your deck rather than the card values themselves. If I'm understanding, you want to compare d.inputCard(card) with d.inputCard(systemCard) instead of card with systemCard. But of course, that's a String. Having a hard time following the code :-).

Hi there I am trying to get this to calculate the winner from 4 players (The game is the classic card game war) but I can only get it to do two. the first bit of the code is my Card class and the second bit is the main program where there are more if statements for working out the winner. the issue i'm having is with the method "getWinner".

Currently, you are only comparing the values of 2 cards; you're comparing tester against tester2, but do not include player 3 or player 4's cards. Not only that, you don't return which player has won. Instead, you only specify whether p1 has won or lost.
Your String getWinner(Card) method needs more parameters, so you can pass more cards into it. Compare against all the cards. It should also return which player has won:
public String getWinner(Card p2, Card p3, Card p4) {
//compare against ALL cards
//return which player won
}
You would then call this, passing in all opposing cards, not just tester2:
result = tester.getWinner(tester2, tester3, tester4);
Finally, you have to fix up your score keeper. Instead of checking for "win" or "lose", check for which player won:
/* could use a switch statement */
if(result == "p1") {
System.out.println("Player 1 wins!");
wins1++;
} else if(result == "p2") {
System.out.println("Player 2 wins!");
wins2++;
} else if(result == "p3") {
//...
}
If I were on a computer, I'd suggest a LOT more, such as encapsulating the "battle" somewhere else rather than within the first player's Card; I recommend posting to CodeReview once you are done. If you have any problems, let me know.

As far as I can see, only the tester-deck is playing against the tester2-deck. If thats not intended, the reason, only 2 of your 4 decks are "competitive" ist that only 2 of them do play, right?

how to output numbers as strings/names

I'm writing the code for a HiLo card game in which the player has to guess whether the next card drawn will be higher, lower or equal.
Although for the numbers 11, 12, 13 and 1, I'd like the output to be Jack, Queen, King and Ace.
I've worked out the program to point where it returns a random int between 0 and 13 (I'm still unaware as to how I would write the code to make it only choose random int between 1 and 13).
How do I set it so the 11, 12, 13 and 1 numbers appear as
The Card pulled is the Ace,
is the next card Higher, Lower or Equal?
and so on, I've tried if statements and changing int to String, but neither work, and to my avail was nothing I was able to find about a String generator...
Here is my code, any help would be greatly appreciated
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class HiLo {
public static final int JACK = 11;
public static final int QUEEN = 12;
public static final int KING = 13;
public static final int ACE = 1;
public static void main(String[] args) {
int correctGuesses = 0;
Random generator = new Random();
int currentCard;
int nextCard = generator.nextInt( KING+1 );
while (correctGuesses < 4) {
currentCard = nextCard;
nextCard = generator.nextInt( KING+1 );
Object[] options = {"Higher",
"Lower",
"Equal"};
int Input = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null,
"The Card pulled is the " + currentCard +
" \nis the next card Higher, Lower or Equal?",
"HiLo Card Game",
JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION,
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
null, options, options[0]);
if(nextCard > currentCard) {
switch(Input) {
case JOptionPane.YES_OPTION:
correctGuesses++;
break;
case JOptionPane.NO_OPTION:
case JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION:
correctGuesses = 0;
break;
}
} else if(nextCard < currentCard) {
switch(Input) {
case JOptionPane.NO_OPTION:
correctGuesses++;
break;
case JOptionPane.YES_OPTION:
case JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION:
correctGuesses = 0;
break;
}
} else {
switch(Input) {
case JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION:
correctGuesses++;
break;
case JOptionPane.YES_OPTION:
case JOptionPane.NO_OPTION:
correctGuesses = 0;
break;
}
}
}
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
"Congratulations, You guessed correctly 4 times,"
+ "\nthe Last Card was the " + nextCard + ", resart to play again" );
}
}

Change currentCard to a String. Then instead of
currentCard = nextCard;
do
currentCard = Integer.toString(nextCard);
Then you can do your if statements and assign the strings you need to for the output.

String getCardString(int card) {
String cardString = null;
switch (card) {
ACE:
cardString = "ace";
break;
KING:
cardString = "king";
break;
// same for queen and jack
DEFAULT:
cardString = Integer.toString(nextCard);
}
return cardString;
}
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
"Congratulations, You guessed correctly 4 times,"
+ "\nthe Last Card was the " + getCardString(nextCard) + ", resart to play again" );
For the random generator, you can generate between 0 and 12, then add 1:
nextCard = ACE + generator.nextInt(KING);

Card Values in BlackJack Java

First time posting on here. I've heard many good things about the community. I'm an amateur programmer and have dabbled in C++ and Java so far. Anywhoo, I've been cracking my head open with this BlackJack game in java I've sort of haphazardly put together over the last few days. Basically, I am having an issue with the creating of my deck. I am using an ArrayList to hold the cards, but I cant figure out a way to correctly add a value to each card. As you can see by my code, I am using parseint to get the value from the String and add it to the card sum but the problem is, when values such as "Ace" and "Jack" "King" "Queen" come up, clearly no int can be parsed from there so when the program runs, everything works fine, unless of course one of the previously mentioned cards are pulled. Then I get an error that reads:
(""Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "Queen"
at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:65)
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:580)

at blackjack.Blackjack.getHumanValue(Blackjack.java:110)
at blackjack.Blackjack.main(Blackjack.java:27)
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)"") .
I've tried looking it up online to see if I can spark some inspiration but all I can find is to use Enums or Switch to build my deck, but the problem is I don't fully understand those techniques yet. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

EDIT Sorry, Forgot to include my card class!!!
public class card {
String suit;
String cardValue;
#Override
public String toString() {
return cardValue + " of " + suit;
}
public card(String suit, String cardValue) {
this.suit = suit;
this.cardValue = cardValue;
}
public card(String cardValue) {
this.cardValue = cardValue;
}
public String getSuit() {
return suit;
}
public void setSuit(String suit) {
this.suit = suit;
}

Pay close attention to this call.
totalValue2 += Integer.parseInt(value.cardValue);
It's innocuous enough since it works for any of the integer values you have in cardValue. But, you don't just have integral values there either - you have words, too.
You can't change the word "Queen" to a number. Java doesn't have that capability, since it has no numerical meaning*.
It'd be better to store the value of the card and the name of the card as separate parts of data, since the name of the card would also include the suit information.
You haven't shown us your Card class implementation, but what you can do without changing your external contract is to do a bit of parsing on the inside when you get the String, and return an int instead of a String when you retrieve the cardValue. In the case of an "Ace" type, then depending on the total value of the hand, you should pick the most appropriate value (either 1 or 11). This part I leave as an exercise for the reader.
public Card(String suit, String value) {
this.suit = suit;
switch(value) {
case "Ace":
isAce = true; // conditional logic req'd since Ace can be 1 or 11.
break;
case "Jack":
case "Queen":
case "King":
this.value = 10;
break;
}
this.cardName = value;
}
*: "Queen" does have a value in base 31: 24919187. But that's probably not what you were going for.
