I need to write a program using Matlab that randomly selects a single card(from a full deck 52 cards) and print the result out, i.e. ace-spades, 5-hearts, king-diamonds,etc. Thank you in advance

What have you done so far?
What you can do is first you define a cell array that contains each card of the deck. Then you can use randi to generate a random index into your cell array. Then, you can use print out the the card that belongs to the index.
