  3. Generate the methods hashCode and equals
  4. Add a toString which says rank + " of " + suit.
  5. Add a method getValue to return the card's numeric value.

  5. Add a method dealCard that removes a Card from the deck.
  6. Add a method shuffle to shuffle the deck.

  1. Write a program to ask a user how many cards they want.
  2. Handle the case where users enter a non-integer or a number greater than 52: print an error message.

Deal the cards and display them on the screen. Also display the total value of all cards.
