Introduction to Blackjack:

Blackjack, or 21, is a casino card game where players aim to beat the dealer by getting a hand value close to 21 without exceeding it. Number cards are worth their face value, face cards 10 points, and Aces 1 or 11 points

Method 1

This Python script simulates dealing cards from a 52-card deck. It uses the random module to shuffle the deck, which is a list of cards created from the suits ("Spades," "Clubs," "Hearts," "Diamonds") and ranks ("A," "2"-"10," "J," "Q," "K"). The deal function distributes a specified number of cards. The script shuffles the deck, deals four cards, and determines each card's value, printing the results.

Lines 7 to 18 in 684cb2c

	# Create the deck of cards
	deck = [{"suit": suit, "rank": rank} for suit in suits for rank in ranks]
	def shuffle_deck(deck):
	random.shuffle(deck)
	def deal(deck, num_cards):
	dealt_cards = []
	for _ in range(num_cards):
	card = deck.pop()
	dealt_cards.append(card)
	return dealt_cards

Method 2

This Python script simulates a deck of cards and a dealing function. It uses the random module to shuffle the deck, consisting of suits ("Spades," "Clubs," "Hearts," "Diamonds") and ranks with corresponding values. The deck is built by combining suits and ranks, then shuffled. The deal function returns a specified number of cards from the top of the shuffled deck. The script demonstrates deck creation, shuffling, and card dealing, and prints the dealt card's suit and rank.

	suits = ["Spades","clubs","hearts","diamonds"]

	"rank":"7","value":7,
	"rank":"8","value":8,
	"rank":"9","value":9,
	"rank":"J","value":10,
	"rank":"Q","value":10,
	"rank":"K","value":10,}]
	for suit in suits:
	for rank in ranks:
	cards.append([suit,rank])

Final Code

This Python script implements a text-based Blackjack game with several classes:

Card: Represents a playing card with a suit and rank. Deck: Represents a deck of cards, which can be shuffled and dealt. Hand: Represents a hand of cards, managing dealt cards and calculating their value. Game: Manages the overall Blackjack game. 'check_winner' function determines the winner based on the player's and dealer's hand values.

The main part of the script creates a Game object and calls its play method to start the game. The play method prompts the user to enter the number of games to play, then plays each game by dealing two cards to both the player and the dealer, allowing the player to hit or stand, and determining the winner based on the final hand values.
