You could use a Deque for the deck of cards, and a list or vector for the hand.

Start with a card class. Then a deck class, which is good as a public stack implementation; you deal off of it. Hands are just vectors of card, similar to desk, but you don't need to shuffle them and probably need to figure out their value and maybe even sort them in some way.

This is a very common project and lends itself cleanly to OOP. Show your code, we'll go from there.

Data structures is just a focused, optimized version of OOP, not something completely different . Write or draw out the program's allocation of memory before you start coding, ans try to use as few loops as possible for starters.

If you need specific help with optimization, run in to an error, or just want the community to review your work, we can, but we'll need to see your code. Have fun!
