You should be calling the getPairs() method in hasFullHouse() to see if it returns 1 (for one pair).

Also, currently hasFullHouse() is not detecting full house correctly:

Hold on. I'm shuffling the deck. Here is your hand: 1 - 4 of Hearts 2 - 3 of Hearts 3 - King of Clubs 4 - 4 of Clubs 5 - 5 of Diamonds How many cards in your hand do you want to replace (0-5)? 3 Enter the number of the cards you want to replace (1-5), separated by spaces: 2 3 5 Updated hand: 1 - 4 of Hearts 2 - 4 of Spades 3 - Ace of Clubs 4 - 4 of Clubs 5 - 3 of Clubs

You have a FULL HOUSE.

The Full house was detected within my IDE. Above is a screenshot for proof Professor.

A full house is three-of-a-kind plus one pair. 9-9-9-Jack-Queen is not a full house.

[BoimaM]

public boolean hasFullHouse(PlayingCard[] hand) { //check for three of a kind boolean threeOfAKind = hasThreeOfAKind(hand); //Check for pair: int pairCount = getPairs(hand);

    return threeOfAKind && pairCount == 1;
}
