I'm still stuck with this. It shuffles the cards, then replaces the letter
representing the card (such as H = heart) with the word. Then it's meant to
print the top five cards (meanign the five cards that come first after the
shuffling). Somethign like:
9 Heart 10 Heart J Heart Queen Heart King Heart 6 Diamonds
This script prints out a whole bunch of stuff. What is wrong with it?
