How to use Jbutton in if statements in java

Question

I am trying to use The Jbutton action listener clicks for to set my pressed variable from 0 to 1,2, or 3. if this number becomes switched then will the suites of cards on the text field. My problem is not setting my pressed variable equal to a new number and just keeping it at 0.

Answer 1

You pass the value of pressedNumber from CardApp to Hand, but never actually use it...

public int Discards(int pressedNumber) {
    Randomizer();
    return pressed;
}

Did you mean to do something like...

public int Discards(int pressedNumber) {
    pressed = pressedNumber;
    Randomizer();
    return pressed;
}
