title: Why does my isFullHouse() method also accept a simple three-of-a-kind?
body: <p>I am having problems with my full house method. I thought it was as simple as checking for three of a kind and a pair. But with my current code i am getting a full house with only a three of a kind. Code for isFullHouse() isThreeOfAKind() and isPair() is below thanks for all the help!</p>
  
  <pre><code> public boolean isPair() {
       Pips[] values = new Pips[5];
       int count =0;
  
       //Put each cards numeric value into array
       for(int i = 0; i &lt; cards.length; i++){
           values[i] = cards[i].getPip();
       }
  
       //Loop through the values. Compare each value to all values
       //If exactly two matches are made - return true
       for(int x = 1; x &lt; values.length; x++){
           for(int y = 0; y &lt; x; y++){
               if(values[x].equals(values[y])) count++;
           }
           if (count == 1) return true;
           count = 0;
       }
       return false;  
   }
  
   public boolean isThreeOfAKind() {
      Pips[] values = new Pips[5];
      int counter = 0;
  
      for(int i = 0; i &lt; cards.length; i++){
          values[i] = cards[i].getPip();
      }
  
      //Same process as isPair(), except return true for 3 matches
      for(int x = 2; x &lt; values.length; x++){
           for(int y = 0; y &lt; x; y++){
               if(values[x].equals(values[y]))
                   counter++;
           }
           if(counter == 2) return true;
           counter = 0;
      }
  
      return false;
  }
  
  public boolean isFullHouse(){
      if(isThreeOfAKind() &amp;&amp; isPair())
          return true;
      return false;
  }
