Choosing a random variable from 2 lists

[metulburr]

pickACard = random.choice (suites)
pickAFace = random.choice (cardFaces)

this is choosing a random element from each list once. You then are just reusing each chosen one instead of getting a new one

import random
suites = ['Hearts' , 'Diamonds' , 'Spades' , 'Clubs']
cardFaces = ['Ace', 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,'Jack','Queen','King']
 
 
hand = []
for i in range(5): # do the body five times
 card = random.choice(suites) , random.choice(cardFaces)
 hand.append(card)
for card in hand:print(random.choice(hand))
