Inconsistent Output

[Adrian Rodrigo]

Hey,

When using the provided input for human players only, the output when
someone orders up the dealer and goes alone is:

HumanPlayer 2 (KH,9H,10H,AC,JC) > Player 2 orders up Player 4 and is
going alone.

However, when using computer players only, the output in the same
situation (with seed 8) is:

Computer (CMA) Player 1 (JC,AH,9D,10C,JS) > Player 1 is going alone.

This seems like bad design since the printing code must be repeated for
both. I can fix our program by doing some dynamic type checking
workaround, but this is also pretty bad design.

Anyway, I was just wondering what we should do?

Hi Adrian, Renaud,
You're right. This is unfortunate.

At this point, I would be OK with either design (one that repeated code,
or one that had a workaround).

P.S. In this case, our_euchre doesn't repeat code: different code is
used to determine whether the player goes alone, sets different
conditions, and prints fragments of the output depending on the conditions.
