1//! # Camel Cards
2//!
3//! The types of each hand are computed from the frequency of the cards ordered in descending order.
4//! For example a full house would have 1 card with a frequency of 3 and a second with a
5//! frequency of 2, giving `[3, 2]`. Similarly two pair would be `[2, 2, 1]`.
6//! Array comparisons will sort the hand types in order.
7//!
8//! To make comparisons faster the frequencies and the card ranks are packed into a `usize`:
9//!
10//! * `55222` => `0x3200055222`
11//! * `32T3K` => `0x2111032a3d`
12//!
13//! For part two we add the numbers of jokers to the highest frequency (which could already be
14//! jokers!).
15//!
16//! * `QQQJA` => `0x41000ccc1a`
