The dealer has been sloppy and lost track of what cards his/her deck contains and what cards are missing, can you help him/her?


A complete deck consists of 52 playing cards, namely:

Each color in the deck (hearts, diamonds, spades, clubs) contains:

  • The numbers [2 - 10]
  • A Jack
  • A Queen
  • A King
  • An Ace

Task

Your program will read the contents of the deck from STDIN until a newline is read. You can assume that the input will be in the form of "nX nX nX nX" etc. where:

  • n - any number between [2 - 10] or either 'J', 'Q', 'K' or 'A'. (You can assume upper case only for non-numeric characters)
  • X - any of the following : 'H', 'D', 'S', 'C' (You can assume upper case only)

Where:

  • 'J' = Jacks
  • 'Q' = Queen
  • 'K' = King
  • 'A' = Ace

And

  • 'H' = Hearts
  • 'D' = Diamonds
  • 'S' = Spades
  • 'C' = Clubs

You can assume that there will be no duplicates in the input.

Your program must then print the missing cards in the deck to STDOUT in the same fashion as the input ("nX nX nX") or print 'No missing cards' if all 52 cards are supplied. There is no constraint on the order of the output of the cards.

Example input:

9H AH 7C 3S 10S KD JS 9C 2H 8H 8C AC AS AD 7D 4D 2C JD 6S

Output:

3H 4H 5H 6H 7H 10H JH QH KH 2D 3D 5D 6D 8D 9D 10D QD 2S 4S 5S 7S 8S 9S QS KS 3C 4C 5C 6C 10C JC QC HC

Happy golfing!

C#, 343 bytes

First time posting one of my golfs, not a very good contender though. I'm sure I can reduce this more.

The idea behind it is a sparse array storing occurrences of cards, with indexes calculated by the ASCII values of the different values and suits multiplied against each other (e.g. an ace of spades (AS) would be stored in the area at index (65 * 83 = 5395)). This way, each type of card gets a unique index that can be checked later for existance in the "map" array.

void M(string[]a){var c=new int[]
{50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,49,74,81,75,65,72,68,83,67};var e=new 
int[9999];int i=0;int j=0;foreach(var s in a) e[s[0]*s[s.Length-
1]]++;int f=0;for(i=0;i<13;i++)for(j=13;j<17;j++)if(e[c[i]*c[j]]==0)
{f=1;Console.Write(((i<9)?(i+2)+"":(char)c[i]+"")+(char)c[j]+" 
");}if(f==0) Console.WriteLine("No missing cards");}

param($n)('No missing cards',($a=(2..10+'JQKA'[0..3]|%{$i=$_;"CSHD"[0..3]|%{"$i$_"}}|?{$n-notmatch$_})))[!!$a]

Try it online!

Takes input $n as either a space-delimited or newline-delimited string. Constructs an array from the range 2..10 concatenated with JQKA (indexed with [0..3] to make it a char array). That array is fed into a loop |%{} that sets helper $i then loops over the suits to concatenate the results together with $i$_. At the end of this loop, we have an array of strings like ("2C", "2S", "2H", ... "AH", "AD"). That array is fed into a Where-Object (|?{}) with the filter as those elements $_ that regex -notmatch the input $n. The result of that filtering is stored into $a.

Then, we use a pseudo-ternary ( , )[] to select whether we output 'No missing cards' or $a, based on whether !!$a turns to a Boolean $false or $true. If $a is empty (meaning every card in the deck is in the input), then !!$a is 0, so the "No missing cards" is selected. Vice versa for $a being selected. In either case, that's left on the pipeline, and output is implicit.

sort|comm -3 <(printf %s\\n {10,{2..9},A,J,K,Q}{C,D,H,S}) -|grep .||echo No missing cards

I/O as a newline-delimited list.

Explanation

  • sort reads newline-delimited input from STDIN and sorts it
  • This is piped to comm
  • printf %s\\n {10,{2..9},A,J,K,Q}{C,D,H,S} is a brace-expansion to generate the full deck of cards. The printf prints each card on its own line. The order is given such that the output is the same as if it had been piped to sort
  • comm compares the full deck against the sorted input and outputs the difference. -3 suppresses output of column 3 (the common ones)
  • The whole output from comm is piped to grep .. If there was no output from comm (i.e. all cards were in the input), then the || "or" clause outputs the required message. Otherwise the grep . matches all lines output from comm.

No missing cards

Input/output is a list of space-separated cards. Output has a leading space.

Try it online!

Explanation

Most of the code deals with building the full list of cards that should be in the deck:

^
A2345678910JQK¶ 
\G(10|.)
 $&H $&D $&S $&C

First, we prepend a newline to the input, with all possible values of cards, then for each character of this line (or the couple of characters 10) we build the list of all possible suits of that card.

Dr` \S+

This is a deduplication stage, it splits the string into chunks consisting of a space plus some non-spaces and keeps only one occurrence of each chunk. The modifier r makes this operate from right to left, keeping then the last occurrence of each chunk.

G1`

We keep only the first line, which now contains the missing cards.

^$
No missing cards

If the result is empty we replace it with "No missing cards"

Combination of the two previous python answers mixed with some string unpacking shenanigans.

print(' '.join({x+y for x in[*'23456789JQKA','10']for y in'HDSC'}-{*input().split()})or'No missing cards')

print(join(setdiff(["$x$y"for x=∪(2:10,"JQKA")for y="HDSC"],readline()|>split),' ')|>s->s>""?s:"No missing cards")

Very similar to Kyle Gullions python solution. Setdiff instead of - and the lambda to test for the empty string make it worse though.

Tcl, 270 228 chars

(Shortened with some help from Wît Wisarhd)

foreach s {H D S C} {foreach c {2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 J Q K A} {dict set d $c$s 0}}
gets stdin l
foreach c $l {dict set d $c 1}
set m {}
dict for {c h} $d {if {!$h} {lappend m $c}}
if {![llength $m]} {set m "No missing cards"}
puts $m

Try it online!

Explanation:

This implementation builds a dictionary consisting of a boolean flag for each of the cards represented by the cartesian product of H D S C and 2-through-A. It reads the line from stdin, which if given as the spec as called for, is actually a well formed Tcl list. As each card is read, a boolean true is input in the dictionary for that card.

At the end a parser loops through the dictionary, and adds any card that did not have a true in the dictionary to a list of missing cards. If the missing cards list length is zero, output "No missing cards", otherwise output the list of missing cards.

PHP, 138 bytes

Ran with -n and -d error_reporting=0

I reuse some code from an old submition i made that asked for create a deck of cards

Code

<?$r=[];foreach([A,J,Q,K,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]as$t)array_push($r,$t.H,$t.S,$t.D,$t.C);
echo join(" ", array_diff($r,explode(" ",$argv[1])));

Try it online!

Explanation

<?$r=[];   # Declare the array that will contain the full deck
# the next line will generate the arry with the full deck  
foreach([A,J,Q,K,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]as$t)array_push($r,$t.H,$t.S,$t.D,$t.C);
# explode the input string on each blank space and using array_diff to get the
# different elements withing both arrays. (and "echo" of course) 
echo join(" ", array_diff($r,explode(" ",$argv[1])));

  • \$\begingroup\$ You can get it down to 120 with a few tweaks. 1) end the first line with a ?> replace the 'echo ' with <?= 2) entering the cards on regular command line with spaces will populate $argv as an array with each as an element, so you can remove the explode() entirely.

  • \$\begingroup\$ i had no clue that $argv can work like that, thanks @gwaugh \$\endgroup\$ Jan 10, 2019 at 12:36
  • \$\begingroup\$ Oh btw @gwaugh the question sayd that the argument is a string separated by spaces, can set the arguments one by one. \$\endgroup\$ Jan 10, 2019 at 12:38
  • \$\begingroup\$ If you run it on the command line like: 'php deck.php 2S 5H JC' it's the same use as if you were to think of it as a space delimited string. You're just letting PHP parse it out for you. It's only the UI of TIO that makes you put them in separate. \$\endgroup\$
