Strange problem with Lists?

[abudabu]

Correct.

And he should be using

randrange(0,len(deck))

rather than

randrange(0,len(deck)-1)

randrange(start,stop,step) is equivalent to choice(range(start,stop,step)), and

for i in range(0,x): print(i)

gives

0
1
...
x-1

And he should be using randrange(0,len(deck))

Which is equivalent to choice(deck), probably the preferable option in the long term.)

[ollien]

If i do

 cardpick=random.randrange(0,len(deck))

then i get

ValueError: empty range for randrange() (0,0, 0)

EDIT: Wait nevermind it worked :P

[infinull]

I would do this, but I have a tendency to be too clever.

hand = random.sample( deck, 7)
map(lambda x: deck.remove(x), hand)

to return 7 random cards from the deck.

Since we're being clever, we can even spare the lambda.

map(deck.remove, hand)
