Class CardPlayer

java.lang.Object
cs171a2.GeneralPlayer<Card>
cs171a2.CardPlayer
Type Parameters:
Card - the type of card used in the game
public class CardPlayer extends GeneralPlayer<Card>
A class that represents a card player. For each card player instance, we should keep track of how many points they earned in the game so far, as well as whether it is their turn or not. Additionally, their hand and bank of cards should be stored in two separate ArrayLists of Card objects.

A player's points, turn, and hand of cards should all be declared private fields, whereas the bank of cards should be public, as follows:

private int points; private boolean turn; private ArrayList<Card> hand = new ArrayList<Card>(); public ArrayList<Card> bank = new ArrayList<Card>();

Note that the Field Summary section below will only show you public fields, but you must declare all the fields described above in your implementation of this class, including the private fields. You are free to create additional fields if deemed necessary.
