 *
 * This is an expressive example of what you can do with groovy to get similar functionality to a post I saw in Java, which 
 * builds a deck and deals it out:
 * http://www.nobigo.com/design-a-deck-of-playing-cards-deck-shuffling/#.UiuCbFGkiP-
 * 
 * Now I know this design is not really reusable, but with some minor changes you can get it there, and still have few lines of 
 * code than the java example
 *
 * Java Example : 135(191 with comments) lines of code, Groovy Example 1: 19 lines of code, Groovy Example 2: 39 lines of code

//Groovy Example 1

def faceCards = ["Jack" ,"Quean", "King", "Ace"]
def cards = []

suits.eachWithIndex{suit, value ->
    def numberCards = 2..10
    numberCards.each{card ->
        cards << [value:card, display:card, suit:suit, suitValue:value]
    }

    faceCards.eachWithIndex{card, suitValue ->
        cards << [value:suitValue+11, display:card, suit:suit, suitValue:value]
