Using arrays in JAVA and nothing more advanced, no nodes, no objects, no arraylist

(Simulation: coupon collector's problem) Coupon collector is a classic statistics problem with many practical applications.

The problem is to pick objects from a set of objects repeatedly and find out how many picks are needed for all the objects to be picked at least once.

A variation of the problem is to pick cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards repeatedly and find out how many picks are needed before you see one of each suit. Assume a picked card is placed back in the deck before picking another.

Write a program to simulate the number of picks needed to get four cards from each suit and display the four cards picked (it is possible a card may be picked twice).

Here is a sample run of the program:
Queen of Spades

5 of Clubs

Queen of Hearts

4 of Diamonds

Number of picks: 12
