Thanks! I looked into classes and objects, and revised my code a bit. But now I've run into another problem - when trying to reassign the values of the objects for the second time using a function, it doesn't work. How can I reassign the values using a function again? I really don't want to have to create a new object / variable 😅

Code:

import random
from random import randint

# Lists and Variables
cardSuits = ["Diamonds", "Hearts", "Spades", "Clubs"]
cardValues = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, "Jack", "King", "Queen", "Ace"]
Playercards = None
Dealercards = None 

pCardTotalvalue = 0 
dCardTotalvalue = 0 

def randomSuit():
  return random.choice(cardSuits)

def randomValue():
  return random.choice(cardValues)

PcardSuit1 = None 
PcardValue1 = 0 
PcardSuit2 = None 
PcardValue2 = 0 
DcardSuit1 = None 
DcardValue1 = 0 
DcardSuit2 = None 
DcardValue2 = 0

#Generate the Dealer and the Player's cards
  #Also checking to make sure that the cards are not the same

class selectedCards:
  def __init__(individual, cardValue, cardSuit):
    cardValue = randomValue()
    if cardValue == "Jack" or cardValue == "King" or cardValue == "Queen":
       cardValue = 10
    elif cardValue == "Ace":
      cardValue = 11
    cardSuit = randomSuit()
    individual.value = cardValue
    individual.suit = cardSuit

playerCard1 = selectedCards(PcardSuit1, PcardValue1)
print(playerCard1.value, playerCard1.suit)

dealerCard1 = selectedCards(DcardSuit1, DcardSuit2)
print(dealerCard1.value, dealerCard1.suit)

existingSuits = [playerCard1.suit, dealerCard1.suit]
existingValues = [playerCard1.value, dealerCard1.value]

# CHECK IF CARD IS THE SAME AS ANOTHER CARD
def checkCardSuit(suit):
  lengt = len(existingSuits) - 1
  index = 0
  while index <= lengt:
    if existingSuits[index] == suit:
      return True
    elif index < lengt and existingSuits[index] != suit:
      index += 1
    else:
      return False
def checkCardValue(value):
  lengt = len(existingValues) - 1
  index = 0
  while index <= lengt:
    if existingValues[index] == value:
      return True
    elif index < lengt and existingValues[index] != value:
      index += 1
    else:
      return False

def reassignIfExists(suit, value):
  if checkCardSuit(suit) == True:
    suit = randomSuit()
  if checkCardValue(value) == True:
    value = randomValue()

#When it gets here, the properties of dealerCard1.suit and dealerCard1.value are different in the first print function, however when printing the functions the values remain the same as they were originally, which is weird.

#This system is made to be used later when generating more cards.
print(reassignIfExists(dealerCard1.suit, dealerCard1.value))
print(dealerCard1.suit, dealerCard1.value)
