Iteration, selection and adding - gandy - May-09-2020
First post here.
I'm trying to get the value of the cards in PlayersHand and add them.Then 'hit' a new card and add it to variable 'score'.
I've seen lots of options, including dicts and splits, but they don't make sense fully to me yet.
Is there a way using the (i) iteration to add the i's?
Thanks
I've just included a section of the code
if option == 1:
print ("Lets Play!")
#+++++++++++++++++Deal and display cards++++++++++++++++#
PlayersHand = random.choices(Deck, k=2)
print(name,"Your cards are", PlayersHand)
DealersHand = random.choices(Deck, k=1)
print("Dealer, your cards are Blank +",DealersHand)
total = 0
for i in PlayersHand:
countval=(i[0])#to get the value of the card(needed first two values for one or ten
print ("count is", countval);
print("-------------")
print(i)
if countval == "J" or countval =="K" or countval =="Q": total +=10
elif countval =="A":
total = 11
else:
total=countval
print ("countval is",countval)
print ("countval is",total)
print (PlayersHand)
# print(PlayersHand.numval)
#+++++++++++++++++Turn value into integer++++++++++++++++#
def card_value(card):
rank = Deck[0]
if rank in Ranks[0:-4]:
return int(rank)
elif rank == 'ACE':
return 11
else:
return 10
print("card")
print (rank)
while sum(PlayersHand) <21:
decide = input("Do you want to hit or stand?: H or S?")
if decide == "H" or "h":
PlayersHand.append(random.choices(Deck, k=1))

You have many questions, i think a start would be to put your deck in a dictionary type object like so:
deck = {'HA':11,'H2':2,'H3':3,'HJ':10}
print(deck['H2'])I've included a few cards like Hearts/Ace, H 2, H 3, H Jack.... with the values they would have in blackjack.With the key eg. 'HA', you can find the value and that leads to adding, etc.
