Three-Card Game: Deal Hands, Rank Them, Then Add a Flush Category

Quick Overview

A two-part card game coding exercise: deal three cards to each player from one deck, show every hand and pick the winner using three of a kind, pair and high card, then add a flush category between them. It tests hand representation, within-category comparison, tie handling and code that extends cleanly when a rule changes.
