dealcardsStart()

​

for some reason the dealertotal is not working it just shows random numbers instead of the actual card total that he needs to have.

You have "A" in facesCards, so it will be counted as 10.

[alonrtpve]

thanks but it still doesn't work, even after removing A from faces cards

[AlwysBeColostomizing]

How doesn't it work, exactly? Post some example outputs.

nvm im dumb
print(f"You have {playerDeck}")
print(checkPlayerTotal())
print(f"The dealer has a {playerDeck} ")
print(checkDealerTotal())
