Change value for card

Robin53 (28)
I've managed to change the players ace score 11 to 1, so when a player twists and there score will exceed 21 if there next card is an ace, the ace will change to a 1 rather than being 11. However, if the player is dealt two aces to begin with, their score ends up being 2, but it should be 12 because one ace should be 11 and the other should be 1, how can I change this?

  void Deal()

{

    cout << "Players first card " << SUIT_STRING[Playerscard[0].suit] << Playerscard[0].score << endl;

    if (Playerscard[0].score == 10) {

    }

    cout << endl;

    int TestPlayerScore = PlayerScore + Playerscard[0].score + Playerscard[1].score; cout << endl;

    if (TestPlayerScore > 21) {

        CheckAce();

        PlayerScore = PlayerScore + Playerscard[0].score + Playerscard[1].score; cout << endl;

    }

    else {

        PlayerScore = PlayerScore + Playerscard[0].score + Playerscard[1].score; cout << endl;

        CheckAce();

        TestDealerScore =  Dealercard[0].score + Dealercard[1].score; cout << endl;

    }

 

    cout << "Players score is: " << PlayerScore << endl;

    DealerScore = DealerScore + Dealercard[0].score + Dealercard[1].score; cout << endl;

    cout << "Dealers score is: " << DealerScore << endl;

}


void CheckAce() //changes value of the ace

{

    for (int P = 0; P < 5; P++) //searches the hand

    {

        if (Playerscard[P].score == 11) //if player score is 11, change to 1

        {

            Playerscard[P].score = 1;


        }

        if (Dealercard[P].score == 11)

        {

            Dealercard[P].score = 1;

        }

    }

}

Why not place an if statement to check to see if there are 2 aces. If theres two aces the second ace's value is 21

but the dealer will go bust if i do that. I need 1 ace to be 11 and the other to be 1
