1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
dealCard() is always 0. $playerScore+='dealCard()' when echoed is 0.


2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
dealCard() and $playerScore


3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
Code:
playerScore=0
computerScore=0
echo  "Would you like to play a game of pontoon?"
read pontoon
if [ pontoon == "y" ]; then
$playerScore+='dealCard()'
$computerScore+='dealCard()'
$playerScore+='dealCard()'
$computerScore+='dealCard()'

fi

echo "Your score is $playerScore would you like another card ? y/n"
read newCard
if (newCard == "y")
    while [newCard == "y" && playerScore < 21]
    do
    playerScore+='dealCard()'
    echo " Your score is $playerScore would you like another card ?     y/n"
    read newCard 

    done 
        while [$computerScore < 15]
        do
        $computerScore+='dealCard()'
        checkWin
        done

function dealCard()
{
value=$`(( $RANDOM * 10 ))` + 1
score=0
$score=$value
echo "$value"

if [ $value == 1 ]; then
echo "Ace!"
$score= 11

    else if [ $value == 13 ]; then
    echo "King!"
    $score= 10

        else if [ $value == 12 ]; then
        echo "Queen!"
        $score= 10

            else if [ $value == 11 ]; then
            echo "Jack!"
            $score= 10

            else 
            $score=$value 

            return $score
            fi
        fi
    fi
fi
}


function checkWin
{
echo "computer score is $computerScore" 
if [ $playerScore > 21 ];then
echo "player bust"
    else if [ $computerScore > 21 ]
    echo "Computer bust, Player Wins"
        else 
        if [ $playerScore > $computerScore ] 
            echo "player Wins"

I can't tell what language you're using. It looks sort of like shell but seems to have bits of csh and perl thrown in.

I don't know of any language that will let you use functions before you declare them. Put them up top.

Unless you're in perl, functions don't return string or integer values like that either, just return codes.

You don't call functions in that manner in any of the languages I mentioned.

It looks like there's many problems with your arithmetic and logic syntax too.
