How to rank cards

I'm trying to rank the different cards, but I'm struggling with the if statements and on how to assign a value to my different suits. Basically, if the 'tarneeb' is spades that means spades is the highest ranking suit, I'm struggling on how to code that.

If you ask a specific question related to Matlab you increase your chances of getting an answer. I'm not sure which game you refer to, nor what you have already done.

I did this excel file. The card game is called Trumps. I'm trying to assign values to these different suits.

if contains(tarneeb_input,'S') 
    %spades is the highest ranking 
    %for the hearts: Ace is the strongest(val = 13) but spades always beats it (spades>13)
end

Having an if condition to check the value and suit is more than enough here.

tarneeb_input = input("Enter Card");
score = 0;
if(contains(tarneeb_input, "Spades"))
    score = 39;
elseif(contains(tarneeb_input, "Hearts"))
    score = 26;
elseif(contains(tarneeb_input, "Clubs"))
    score = 13;
else
    score = 0;
end
if(tarneeb_input(1) == '2')
    score = score + 1;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == '3')
    score = score + 2;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == '4')
    score = score + 3;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == '5')
    score = score + 4;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == '6')
    score = score + 5;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == '7')
    score = score + 6;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == '8')
    score = score + 7;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == '9')
    score = score + 8;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == '10')
    score = score + 9;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == 'J')
    score = score + 10;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == 'Q')
    score = score + 11;
elseif(tarneeb_input(1) == 'K')
    score = score + 12;
else
    score = score + 13;
end
disp(score);
