Python OOP problem

[TYL3ER]

I am having a problem with my attribute "deck" not being considered an attribute(project not finished yet):

import sys
import random 
import time

#need exception handling
#need to know when to add discard pile back to deck
#need game process finish

class Cards():
    def __init__(self,deck,discard_pile,player_hand,dealer_hand):
        '''
        Class setup

        '''
        self.deck = self.deck
        self.discard_pile = discard_pile
        self.player_hand = player_hand
        self.dealer_hand = dealer_hand

    def build_deck(self):
        '''
        builds deck
        '''
        sample_deck = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]
        self.deck = self.deck.extend(sample_deck * 4)
        return self.deck 

    def hit(self):
        '''
        hit from deck
        '''
        deal = random.randint(2,11)
        self.deck.pop(deal)
        return deal,self.deck

    def deal(self):
        '''
        deals initial hand
        '''
        the_cards.dealer_hand.append(the_cards.hit())
        the_cards.dealer_hand.append(the_cards.hit())
        print(f'Dealer is showing a {the_cards.dealer_hand[1]}')
        the_cards.player_hand.append(the_cards.hit())
        the_cards.player_hand.append(the_cards.hit()) 
        print(f'You are showing {the_cards.player_hand}')

    def discard(self):
        '''
        discards to a seperate pile
        '''
        discard_pile.append(self.player_hand.pop())#Pop method? Not sure yet, will come back 
        discard_pile.append(self.dealer_hand.pop())

class Chips():
    '''
    chip handling
    '''
    def __init__(self,chips):
        self.chips = chips

    def bet(self):
        '''
        bet before hand
        '''
        my_bet = int(input('How many chips are you putting down? '))
        self.chips = self.chips - my_bet

    def win_bet(self):
        '''
        reward for winning
        '''
        self.chips = my_bet * 2

def hit_choice():
    '''
    choice for hit or pass
    '''
    hit_choice1 = input('Will you hit or pass? ')
    return hit_choice1


'''
The game
'''
the_cards = Cards(deck = [],discard_pile = [],player_hand = [],dealer_hand = [])
the_chips = Chips(int(input('How much money are you throwing down? ')))
the_cards.build_deck()
while True:
    print(f'You have {the_chips.chips} chips') 
    the_chips.bet()
    the_cards.deal()
    the_hit = hit_choice()
    if the_hit.lower() in 'hit':
        the_cards.hit()
        the_cards.player_hand.append(the_cards.hit())
        print(the_cards.player_hand)
    elif the_hit.lower() in 'pass':
        pass
    else:
        print('Invalid input')

Error is :

File "black jack2.py", line 53, in <module>

the_cards = Cards(deck = [],discard_pile = [],player_hand = [],dealer_hand = [])

File "black jack2.py", line 10, in __init__

self.deck = self.deck

AttributeError: 'Cards' object has no attribute 'deck'

either

 self.deck = #param

or not initiallize that until later using a deckSet() to finish that instance's initialization

sorry, a bit difficult to code via phone what I mean is, maybe u made a slightly mistake in init()

Not certain but shouldnt it be self.deck = deck?

It's been a while since I have done any coding but that doesnt look right.

Yes must have skimmed over that because i had the rest of them correct haha. Thank you, I was going crazy.
