This function computes the total value of a Blackjack hand using a C++ backend for efficient scoring.
Aces are treated as 11 unless doing so causes the hand to bust, in which case they are treated as 1.
Arguments
- hand
A card vector representing the hand to be scored (e.g., card(c("A","10"), c("♠","♦"))).
Value
A numeric value between 2 and 31 representing the total score of the hand.
Details
This function calls an underlying C++ function (score_hand_cpp) for performance.
It automatically adjusts Ace values and supports hands of any length.
Examples
blackjack_score(card(c("A", "10"), c("♠", "♦"))) # returns 21
#> [1] 21
blackjack_score(card(c("A", "9", "2"), c("♠", "♣", "♦"))) # returns 12
#> [1] 12
