So if the code you copied has an error how should it assign a
card?
I assigned a card by this code :
def deal(self, hands, num_cards=999):
num_hands = len(hands)
for i in range(num_cards):
if self.is_empty(): break # break if out of cards
card = self.pop() # take the top card
hand = hands[i % num_hands] # whose turn is next?
hand.add(card) # add the card to the hand
No this code assigns several HANDS not just cards.
The code that assigns a card is inside this function, but
you need to narrow it down to the specific lines assigning the card.
Where are the cards stored? How would you get the first card from
the collection? Does that work?
The cards are stored in a directory named cards.
Correct. So how do you get a card from the collection stored
in self.cards?
The error is telling me that the function pop does not exist for a
directory,
So solution is to find out which object contains pop and then
change the code.
Correct
I make a big mistake.
Both card and hands are lists and pop can be used on a list.
That's not a mistake, lists are objects too.
So as Joel said in this rule card = self.pop() there is no list
named so I think it must be self.hands.pop()
If you want to assign a card and cards are stored in self.cards
why would you use self.hands.pop()?
Surely it should be self.cards.pop()?
