Suit Sequence
A pattern repeats every six symbols. What are the 100th and 101st symbols?
A pattern that repeats every six symbols starts as shown below: $$ \heartsuit \:\: \clubsuit \:\: \heartsuit \:\: \diamondsuit \:\: \heartsuit \:\: \spadesuit \:\: \heartsuit \:\: \clubsuit \:\: \heartsuit \:\: \diamondsuit \:\: \heartsuit \:\: \spadesuit \:\: \ldots$$ What are the $100^{\text{th}}$ and $101^{\text{st}}$ symbols in the pattern?
