Here I revisit and practice the Java Fundamentals that I previously learned at Zip Code Wilmington coding bootcamp:

• Using for loops - to run code a specific number of times
• Using while loops - to run code as long as something is true
• Using continue keyword - to skip a run and continue to next one
• Using break keyword - to break out of a loop
• How nested loops run

In the end, I complete TWO projects "Pokerito!" and "BlackJack", which test what I've learned about Loops.

I also build small series of apps to practice what I learn on the way, which can be found here: Loops Recap

An interactive app where a user can play Pokerito! It's almost like poker, but the rules much simpler:

• The dealer will give you one card
• And the computer one card
• Then, the dealer will draw five cards (the river)
• The player with the most matches wins. If the matches are equal, everyone's a winner!

A simple, interactive version of the popular game BlackJack where a player plays against the dealer.

Logic for starting the game:

• The dealer gives the player two cards face up
• The dealer also starts with two cards.
• But only one of the dealers cards is face up, the other is facedown

Logic for playing the game

• Player draws first and can decide whether to hit or stay.
• "Hit" = draw another card || "stay" = do nothing
• If the player decides to hit, and their hand value exceeds 21, they go bust(lose).
• Once player decides to stay, the dealer reveals the hidden facedown card.
• Then the dealer must "hit" until dealer total = 17. If it is greater than 17, the dealer's turn ends.
• Player wins if their hand value is higher than the dealer's hand.
• Player also wins if dealer goes bust(exceeds 21)
• Dealer wins if hand value is higher than the player
