“4C” is the standard measure of diamond quality and value. However, what is “4c”? The so-called “4C” is short for four English words which are start with C. They are “Carat, Clarity, Color, and Cut”. Just integrated “4C” to identify a gem, you can easily understand the value and quality of a diamond, and Diamond Price = Carat + Color + Clarity + Cut.
Carat: Diamond’s weight calculates based on carat. 1 carat equals 200 milligrams and 0.2 grams. One carat is divided into 100 parts, and each part gets one point, 0.09 carat gets 9 points, 0.75 carat gets 75 points. In other similar conditions, as the increasing diamond’s weight, its value also increases; but the same weight diamond will have different value for the different color, clarity and cut.
Clarity: Diamond crystallize from the mantle magna in deep of earth. It is inevitable that a variety of miscellaneous sundries and flaws will be contained after millions years geological changes. The color, quantity, size and position of these internal goods in diamonds will have influenced on their clarity. The clarity is usually divided into “LC, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, P1, P2, P3″ ten levels with 10 times magnifying glass after observe the internal, surface defects and glory.
Color: Diamonds have many natural colors, from precious colorless (white after cutting and grinding), rare light blue and pink to common light yellow, etc. The more transparent and colorless, the more light can pass through. They will colorful after refraction and dispersion. Diamond color’s grades are sure after repeated contrast between unrated diamonds and standard color stones by the technical staffs in a professional laboratory environment. The diamond’s color is divided into “D, E, F, G, H, I, G, K, L, M, N” 11 levels in order.
Cut: Diamond’s brilliance is attributed to the unique high refraction and dispersion. This kind of stone is the hardest material, and difficult to destroy and damage. It will show eternal glory after cutting and grinding. Take the diamond up and stare at the top light, the exquisite diamond will show perfect brilliance. The cut is divided into “perfect, good and ordinary” 3 levels.

This is fascinating, and you know the Old Guard is scratching its collective head over questions of “quality.” The production is better on TV. The acting is better. The writing is often better. It's obvious this is not about “quality” at all — not in the way we have always thought of quality. Instead, the online video phenomenon is about matching interests. It's cable TV on steroids. Even 500 channels is not enough when the audience has infinitely diverse interests. So when someone finds a program that exactly matches his interests, the quality of that program doesn't matter as much as the subject matter. Topic trumps quality. Find your voice in a well-chosen topic, and you're more than halfway there.

I won't write your homework for you, but I'll start you down the right path with some psuedo-code
You know Aces are 1, 14, 27, 30 – right?
And Deuces are 2, 15, 28, 31 – right?
So, each card is X, X+13, X+26, X+39
Using that, write one loop that goes through cards 1-4 (call the counter i)
inside that loop go through cards i+1 thru 5.
Do a modulo of 13 on each card (modulo tells you the remainder when divided by 13) That will tell you the card value. then see if one card has the same modulo as the first.
loop 1 thru 4 as i
int curCardVal = myhand[i] % 13
loop i+1 thru 5 as e
int nextCardVal = myhand[e] % 13
if nextCardVal = curCardVal
return pair
endLoop
endLoop
And really, a pair is the last thing you should check for simplicity. Check to make sure there isn't 4 of a kind or 3 of a kind first. That way you dont' accidentally identify 3 of a kind as a pair.
