Class - Shuffle()

Oct 24th, 2006

Hi,

I have a card class and deck class. The cards are in
suitList
rankList.

I call the cards from a file cards.txt and split them into the above.

I need to import the cards.txt and then shuffle them. I have the following code:

def shuffle(self):
import random
nCards = len(self.cards)
# Swap randomly selected card i with randomly selected card j
for i in range(nCards):
j = random.randrange(i, nCards)
[self.cards[i], self.cards[j]] = [self.cards[j], self.cards[i]]

How do I get the cards shuffled and then use the shuffled deck to display the cards using Deck().

Check the other threads about the card class and such. Once you have a deck in a list, you can use a shuffle() function and it will randomly switch the items around.

Hi,

I have my cards in suitList and rankList.

When I use:

deck=Deck()
deck.shuffle()
print deck

It shuffles the ranks but returns all Hearts. How do I make the shuffle() function shuffle both rankList and suitList???

Could you copy your entire code with code tags, please? Sorry my first post didn't really say anything at all.

    list3.writeline(list2,)
    list3.close()
    print deck
    
    
main()

Ultimately what i'm trying to achieve is:

1.
Create a random file from a file with the cards in order. So read an ordered file (I can do). Then randonize it (only the rank are changing - not the suit).

(This is how the file is to be ordered)
2 h
3 d
Ace d
...

2.
Then deal a card from the top of the deck and remove it from the deck. I think I have the class in order, yet taking the card is not working.

3.
Then return the number of cards left.

4. Finally test it by dealing n number of cards and display them.

I am almost there, yet most of the problems I think lay with the syntax which is confusing me.

The last time I programmed anything was a C64 20 years ago.

Kind Regards

Sorry,

I'm very new to this. I even had to do a search to find out what code tags are...

Why do you want to keep two lists, a card has both a rank and a suit, they belong together to make the card. If you just shuffle the rank list, then you lost the connection with the suit list. As I mentioned before, keep your cards in a list of (rank, suit) tuples. That list will by default sort by rank (item 0 of the tuple) and keep the suit along. The same goes for the random.shuffle().

The following code is suppose to print a pack of cards in order, then shuffle them and reprint them again. Using Deck to print them it's not quite how I would like it.

This is how its printing...

[['1', 'h'], ['2', 'h'], ['3', 'h']...

I would like it to print:

Ace of Hearts
2 of Hearts
...

my file is saved like...

1 of h
2 of h
...
