PokerHands

Categorize and compare 5-card poker hands.

##Goal: Your task for today is to classify poker hands! You have two functions to complete:

• labelHand, which gives the name of a single hand.

##Info: Hands are 14-character strings that look like "8H TC KS 2C AD", where

• there are exactly five cards
• each card is separated by a space
• each card is represented by a value followed by a suit
• ace is "A" (remember, aces can be either low or high!)
• king is "K"
• queen is "Q"
• jack is "J"
• ten is "T"
• all other cards are represented by their number.
• the four suits are represented by "H", "C", "S", and "D"

Hands will be legal, with no duplicate cards.

Remember, the order of hands, from highest to lowest is

• Royal flush: like a straight flush from Ten to Ace
• Straight flush: 5 cards in a row of the same suit
• Four of a kind: 4 cards of the same value
• Full house: 3 cards of the same value and one pair.
• Flush: 5 cards of the same suit
• Straight: 5 cards in a row
• Three of a kind: 3 cards of the same value
• Two pair: you got this one.
• Pair: this one too.
• High card: basically, no hand.
