Program Plan:

• Import the header file.
• Define the main method.
  • Call the “printIntro ()” method.
  • Get the input from the user.
  • Iterate “i” till it reaches 13.
    • Increment the “i” value
  • Call the “simNHands ()” method and store it in a variable.
  • Call the “printSummary ()” method.
• Define the “printIntro ()” method.
  • Display the messages.
• Define the “simNHands ()” method.
  • Display the starting card number.
  • Set the values.
  • Iterate “i” until it reaches “n” value
    • Check the result of “simOneHand ()” is false
      • Increment the “busts” value
  • Return the “busts” value.
• Definition of “simOneHand ()” method
  • Set the value
  • Check “x” value is equal to 11 or 12 or 13
    • Set “x” as 10
  • Call the simOneCard ()” method and store it in a “y” variable.
  • Calculate “hand” value
  • Check the “hand” value is less than 17
    • Check “hand” is less than or equal to 10
      • Check  the result of “hasAce (x)” is true
        • Call the “simOneCard()” method
        • Check the result of “hasAce ()” is false.
        • Calculate the “hand” value
      • Check the condition
        • Calculate the “hand” value
      • Otherwise, calculate the “hand” value.
        • • Check the condition
            • Calculate the “hand” value.
          • Otherwise, break the loop.
          • Check “hand” value is less than 17 and greater than 10
            • Call the method
            • Calculate the “hand” value.
  • Check the “hand” is greater than 21
    • Return the result as false
  • Otherwise, return true.
• Define the “simOneCard ()” method
  • Call the method with the arguments
  • Check “x” is equal to 11 or 12 or 13
    • Set the “x” as 10
    • Return “x”
  • Otherwise, return “x” value
• Define the “hasAce ()” method
  • Check “x” is equal to 1
    • Return true
  • Otherwise, return false.
• Define the “printSummary ()” method
  • Declare the array
  • Display the output.
• Call the main method.
