:::: invalid --- ''the reason for invalid flagging here.''

In the task's preamble, it says that ''Each input card has two characters indicating face and suit'', but then goes on to show a '''10''' for a pip (which is two characters).
I suggest that program accept both '''10''' and a '''T''' (and a '''t''').
Also, all pips (on every card deck that I remember) use capital letters for (lettered) pips: '''A''' (ace), '''J''' (jack), '''Q''' (queen), and '''K''' (for king). Of course, their lowercase versions should also be accepted. Jokers may or may not be capitalized, but most decks seem to use capital letters. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:47, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Amend the question to ''"Which of these two poker hands wins?"''. The present analysis, which classifies hands into a coarse ranking, is inadequate for playing the game.

Thanks Gerard, have added Jokers

:But their doesn't seem to be an explanation of the action of jokers? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 09:32, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

It's a good thing I didn't mention ''bugs'' or ''wild cards'' --- or playing with more than five cards per hand (as in some stud poker games).
''Bugs'' are jokers than can represent:
:::* any generic (non-specific) ace
:::* any card in a flush or straight (that isn't already in that hand)
''Bugs'' (as in a type of ''jokers'') are easy to program for when analyzing poker hands.
I once played a stud poker game with (all) red cards wild.
<br>I'm still trying to figure out the programming required to support analyzing poker hands where there're more wild cards than non-wild cards (in addition to the jokers, of course). Figuring out if there is a straight with three wild cards is daunting, especially when playing something like 7-card stud. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 07:28, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Gerard, I've taken you extra credit example as sample input. Thanks! Also added a few two joker test cases (sorry to move the goal-posts!)
Also, I notice that a "t♣" has crept into you v2 and v3 tests, as in: q♣ t♣ 7♣ 6♣ 4♣
: Yes, I wanted to show that the REXX program example could handle a '''t''' as well as a '''10'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:27, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
ok, that makes sense --[[User:Dwarring|Dwarring]] ([[User talk:Dwarring|talk]]) 21:23, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

@Tipon - Nice work with the Prolog example.
As a point of Trivia the 'Poker Hand Analyser' task was originally given to us as an assignment, by the lecturer in a 3rd year computer science Software Engineering class. That was a good few years ago.
