❔ Blackjack card randomizer
public static void Blackjack()
{
Console.Clear();
int card1 = 0;
int card2 = 0;
int card3 = 0;
while (true)
{
Random random1 = new Random();
card1 = random1.Next(1, 11);
Random random2 = new Random();
card2 = random2.Next(1, 11);
Console.WriteLine("your cards: {0} and {1}", card1, card2);
Console.WriteLine("do you want another card? y/n");
string hitstand = Convert.ToString(Console.ReadLine());
hitstand = hitstand.ToLower();
if (hitstand == "y")
{
Random random3 = new Random();
card3 = random3.Next(1, 11);
}
else if (hitstand == "n")
{
int cardtotal = card1 + card2 + card3;
bjMath(cardtotal);
}
}

If your code is too long, post it to: https://paste.mod.gg/Create the rng outside the loop, and reuse it each time
Or use the static instance,
Random.SharedA better way to do this would be to build an array/list/etc of 50 cards; 1-10 4 times, then 10 11's (for a cheap approximation). Or a bit extra effort to include suits.
Then shuffle the collection (once) and you can easily give them 'cards' from it without having to mess with random anymore
Or use
Random.SharedHow would i do that
google how to shuffle arrays
