Default programming question: I\'m writing a simple odds-calculator...

Hi guys,

I want to program a simple odds-calculator program, largely because I am learning a new language and this seems like a decent little test project to learn the basics. I was just wondering, how do most of these work, I used to assume they just went through every possible outcome (of what cards come on the board) and came up with the percentage, but it seems like pokerstove maybe does it differently and just does a zillion random tests. What's the best way to do this, what's the standard?
