Question 1122444: A standard deck of cards consists of four "suits" (clubs, diamonds, hearts,
and spades), with each suit containing thirteen cards of different "ranks"
(ace, 2 through 10, jack, queen, and king) for a total of fifty-two cards in
all. One often refers to the cards held by a player in a card game as their
"hand"; technically, a hand of cards can be thought of as a subset of the
deck of cards.
