lol no. I'll see what's going on. I hate zip, it always gives me problems.

Okay I just have one question on how I can convert the stings to int values, because my blackjack driver must add the cards together.

It will print the correct result but I'm not sure how to make it print the values sum.

Here is the card program

//********************************

import java.util.Random;
public class Card
{
	// instance variables
	private final int DECK_TOTAL = 52;  // 52 cards in a deck
	private final int SUIT_TOTAL = 13;  // 13 face values
	private int faceValue;
	private int suitNum;
	
	enum Suit {Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades}  // lists the different suits
	Suit cardSuit = Suit.Spades;
	
	enum FaceCard {Jack, Queen, King, Ace, numberCard}  // Non-number cards have
	FaceCard cardFaceVal = FaceCard.Queen;			  // special values
	
	// delare and initialize the random generator
	Random rand = new Random();
	
	// Constructor for a card
	// Defaults to the Queen of Spades
	public Card()
	{
		// states the card's suit
		suitNum = 4;
		cardSuit = Suit.Spades;
		
		// states the card's face value
		faceValue = 12;
		cardFaceVal = FaceCard.Queen;
	}

	// Deals one random card
	public String dealOne()
	{
		faceValue = rand.nextInt(13) + 2;
		suitNum = rand.nextInt(4) + 1;
		
		switch (suitNum)	// changes the suit
		{
			case 1: cardSuit = Suit.Hearts; break;
			case 2: cardSuit = Suit.Clubs; break;
			case 3: cardSuit = Suit.Diamonds; break;
			case 4: cardSuit = Suit.Spades; break;
			default: cardSuit = Suit.Spades; break;
		}
		
		if (faceValue > 10)
		{
			switch (faceValue)  // changes the face value
			{
				case 11: cardFaceVal = FaceCard.Jack; break;
				case 12: cardFaceVal = FaceCard.Queen; break;
				case 13: cardFaceVal = FaceCard.King; break;
				case 14: cardFaceVal = FaceCard.Ace; break;
				default: cardFaceVal = FaceCard.numberCard; break;
			}
			// returns the card's face and suit
			return "The card is the " + cardFaceVal + " of " + cardSuit;
		}
		else
			// returns the card's face and suit
			return "The card is the " + faceValue + " of " + cardSuit;
	}
	
	// method that returns the card's suit
	public String getSuit()
	{
		return "" + cardSuit;
	}
	
	// method that returns the card's face value
	public String getValue()
	{
		if (faceValue > 10)
			return "" + cardFaceVal;
		else
			return "" + faceValue; 
	}
	// returns the card's value and suit to the user
	public String toString()
	{
		if (faceValue > 10)
			return "The " + cardFaceVal + " of " + cardSuit;
		else
			return "The " + faceValue + " of " + cardSuit;
	}
}

And this is the BlackJack driver
