      • Check the condition,
        • Print the value.
        • • • Check another condition,
              • Print the symbol “|”.
    • Print new line.
  • Define the method “showCardMenu()”,
    • Prompt the user a input.
    • Print the required strings.
    • Get the input from the user and return the action.

      • Execute for straight,
        • Check the condition,
        • • Return the value “250”.
            • • Otherwise,
                • Return the value “50”.
            • Otherwise, return the value “5”.
    • Check for largest amount of the same number.
    • Return the score based on the largest of the same.
  • Define the method “showGameMenu()”,
    • Print the menu.
    • Get the choice from the user.
    • Return the action.
  • Define the method “main()”,
    • Create “Scanner” object.
    • Create “Card” object.
    • Assign the value returned from the method “generateDeck()”.
    • Call the method “shuffleDeck()”.

        • Update the token.
        • Print the output message.
        • • • Check if token is less than “1”,
              • Print another output message.
              • Set the action to “0”.
