1. It is an important skill to learn how to use java documentation. Here is the link to the doc java.util.ArrayList class: ArrayList API Also, read Section 5.13 of your textbook for more info and examples.

2. The probability of getting a pair in a five-card poker hand is 0.422569. Technically, a pair is a hand with two cards of one face value and three cards of different face values not matching the pair. Our isPair() is a little different than this definition of pair. Now, modify the PairTest.java to test 1000 poker hands to estimate the probability of getting a pair. Is your number close to the one above?

2. Add the following capabilities to PokerHand.java:

• Add a isFlush() method to PokerHand.java that returns a boolean. It should return true if all five cards have the same suit.
• Add a isThreeOfKind() method to PokerHand.java that returns a boolean. It should return true if the face values of at least three cards are the same.
• Write a test program to test your additions. Be aware that it is not easy to get these hands from a shuffled deck. So specifically construct hands that have these outcomes.
• EXTRA CREDIT: You are welcome to try coding for testing other poker hands. Can you construct an algorithm for testing for two pairs?
