Question

python:

write a two card poker game, the user and the computer will get two cards, cards are an integer value between 2-14 and are printed out as 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A.

the winner is when: if both players have a pair then the pair with the highest numerical value wins, if only one player has a pair, then the pair wins, if neither the players has a pair, then the player with the highest card wins, if both players highest card is the same, then the winner goes to the player with the second highest card, tie: if both have the exact same cards, it is a tie

output:

[K] [9] Your cards

[Q] [5] Computer's cards

You win

Want to play again? (Y/N) y

[7] [2] Your cards

[10] [5] Computer's cards

You lose

Want to play again? (Y/N) ......

Below is a screen shot of the python program to check indentation. Comments are given on every line explaining the code.

Below is the output of the program:

import random
#Dictionary to map card name with value
card_points = {'2':2,'3':3,'4':4,'5':5,'6':6,'7':7,'8':8,'9':9,'10':10,'J':11,'Q':12,'K':13,'A':14}

#Function returns the winner
def match():
   #Check if both are pairs
   if P1==P2 and C1==C2:
      #Return the highest pair
      if card_points[P1]>card_points[C1]:
         return "P"
      else:
         return "C"

      #sort the list with points
      lt = sorted(lt, key = lambda x: x[0], reverse=True)

         return lt[3][1] #Return third highest card
      else:
         return lt[0][1] #return first highest card
   else: #Return Tie

   result = match()#Call function
