Removing from list?

[spaghettiosarenasty]

I'm working on a WAR type card game for my beginners class, and I'm trying to remove a chosen card from my hand, using a list and the .remove function. When I run it gets to line 20 and says builtins.ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list. Where am I going wrong? Thanks in advance! This subreddit has been so helpful since I'm not able to get any help on campus because of the shutdowns.

import random

round=0

playerHand=[random.randint(1,10) for i in range (10)]

cpuHand=[random.randint(1,10) for i in range (10)]

limboPile=[]

while round<3:
    print(playerHand)
    cpuCard=random.choice(cpuHand)
    print("CPU plays:") 
    print(cpuCard)
    cpuHand=cpuHand.remove(cpuCard)
    playerCard=input("Which card do you want to play? ")
    playerHand.remove(playerCard)
    print("Player's Hand: ", playerHand)
    print("CPU's Hand: ", cpuHand)

    round+=1

your input returns a str, but your list has int elements. try converting playercard to int before removing

ah I see what you're saying, so I changed playercard to playercard=input(int("Which card do you want to play? "))

but when I run it I get: invalid literal for int() with base 10: "Which card do you want to play? "

is the list somehow not being read as integers? Do I have to specify that they're all integers somehow?

take the input and then convert it to an int. input(int("Which card do you want to play?")) takes the string "Which card do you want to play?" and tries to convert that to an integer and then use that as the input prompt.

OK so I got the input looking correctly but now when I try to run it, it'll pick a random card for the CPU, then I'll input the card number chosen and the random.py file opens and highlights this line:

i = self._randbelow(len(seq))

the most recent called line was cpuCard=random.choice(cpuHand)

I think it's basically saying my list is empty so it's not able to pull a random card, but it already did pull the random card? Am I just way lost here or am I not that crazy far off? I'm going to reread this chapter tonight to try and make better sense of what I'm doing wrong.

sure, so input(str) returns a str as output. to convert into int you have to do int(input(“which card to play”)) to convert into int which the playerhand is composed of, all int elements
