##Sample Code ###The following code was created to allow the player to place a bet before beginning the game. This calculation function will return the values of the players score depending on the win status and the score updates with each iteration of the game. The Javascript has three primary buttond: Deal, Hit and Stand.

function calculateTotal(hand, whosTurn){
	var cardValue = 0;
	var total = 0;
	var hasAce = false; // init ace as false
	for(var i = 0; i<hand.length; i++){
	cardValue = Number(hand[i].slice(0,-1));
		if((cardValue == 1) && ((total + 11) <= 21)){
			//This card is an ace, chech if eleven will fit. it not = 1
			cardValue = 11;
			hasAce = true;
		}
	// console.log(hand[i]);
	// console.log(cardValue);
		else if(cardValue > 10){
		cardValue = 10;
		}
		else if((cardValue + total > 21) && (hasAce)){
			total = total - 10;
			hasAce =false;
		}

	total += cardValue;
	}

	//update the html with the new total
	var elementToUpdate = '.' +whosTurn + '-total-number';
	$(elementToUpdate).text(total);
	return total;
}
