why is my list a tuple

[CompleteNewb]

i have this code:

hand = []
card = []
flop = []
turn = []
river = []
outs = []
possiblefullhouse = False
cardsdrawn = []


player = Player()

cardsdrawn = []
playersgrade = []

random.shuffle(deck)

hand = ['1', 'C'], ['2', 'C']
flop = ['7', 'S'], ['5', 'S'], ['7', 'D']
turn = ['7', 'H']
river = ['1', 'D']

print(type(turn))

why is my list a tuple?

This code cannot run: Player has not been defined.

This code cannot run because we don't have the function player() and deck has not been assigned.
If I fix both of those the program prints "<class 'list'>".

Please post code that demonstrates the problem you are having.

yeah sorry, but i think my python IDE is playing tricks on me. I would delete the post but i can't sorry

FWIW, in the code you posted, both hand and flop end up as tuples, on lines 18 and 19, respectively.

[deanhystad]

Good catch ndc85430. They become tuples because Python packs sequences into a tuple:

x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5  # A sequence
print(type(x), x)  # Becomes a tuple

Output:
<class 'tuple'> (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

If it is important that things are collected in a list, make sure you make the list.

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Not that there's anything wrong with a tuple, mind. It's still a sequence.

thank you very much. I thought i was going crazy here
