import random
cards = [11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10]
human_cards = []
ia_cards = []
def deal_card(x):
int(random.choice(cards))
return x
deal_card(human_cards)
print(human_cards)
When I print it out it gives me the below output:
[]
I want to have this function working so it gives me 2 random cards for both users.
Keep in mind that if you're simulating dealing from a deck of cards, your deal is never just a random pick from 52 cards over and over again. It's a random deal from whatever's left in a deck of cards.
Let's create a Deck class with a shuffled list of 52 cards, and a deal_card function which deals a card and then removes it from the deck.
import random
class Deck(object):
def __init__(self):
suits = ('Hearts', 'Diamonds', 'Spades', 'Clubs')
faces = ('2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'Jack', 'Queen', 'King', 'Ace')
self.deck = [(suit, face) for suit in suits for face in faces]
random.shuffle(self.deck)
def deal_card(self):
try:
return self.deck.pop()
except IndexError:
return None
