+Once you have created your arrays you will want to make the following for loop:
+<code C>
+// Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm
+for (int i = 51; i > 0; i--)
+{
+    // Generate a random index between 0 and i
+    int j = rand() % (i + 1);
+    // Swaps cardOrder[i] and cardOrder[j], cardValues[i] and cardValues[j]
+    int temp = cardOrder[i];
+    int temp2 = cardValues[i];
+    cardOrder[i] = cardOrder[j];
+    cardValues[i] = cardValues[j];
+    cardOrder[j] = temp;
+    cardValues[j] = temp2;
+}
+</code>
+In this version of the shuffle, we also shuffle the card values making it so they still line up and are assigned correctly. This version does not include suits but you can also do the same thing. Create an array of numbers 0-3. the numbers represent a suit so heart could be 0, diamond as 1, spade as 2, and clubs as 3.
 ====Ace Logic====
 One of the unique aspects of Black Jack is that an Ace can either be 11 or 1 depending on what the player decides. Here is an example of a hand involving an Ace.

+====Dealer Strategy====
+The dealer in blackjack always hits until hitting at least 17, and goes after the player does. A simple way of doing this is to out a check for if the player stands or busts towards the end of the loop, and set a flag if they do.
+    if(stand == true || playerbust == true){}
+Next you need a check to see if the dealer's cards already add up to 17 or greater, and if not then have them draw a card. You repeat this until the dealer has the correct value of cards, check if they bust or not, and if not then compare it to the player.
