Question

In the Python code below, use the array built to shuffle and deal TWO cards for THREE  poker hands. Change the corresponding values for all Jacks through Aces to 11, 12, 13, 14 respectively.

Shuffle the deck using your written shuffle routine, then deal THREE hands.  

1. Deal two cards for three hands
2. Computer the total card value per hand.
3. Add a function that will determine whether the amount of the hand is Less than 17,
4. if so add a card and perform #3 again and until the hand >= 17
5. Perform this for each hand
6. the program is finished when each hand is > 17.
7. Provide the code and flow chart for this program.

dCardNames = ['2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','J','Q','K','A']

dCardValues = ['2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','10','10','10','11']

dSuits = ["Clubs","Spades","Diamonds","Hearts"]

# Build a two dimensional deck with Cards suits and values.

aCards = [['' for i in range(52)] for j in range(3)]

i = 0

n = 0

while i < 13:

aCards[0][i] = dCardNames[i]

aCards[0][i + 13] = dCardNames[i]

aCards[0][i + 26] = dCardNames[i]

aCards[0][i + 39] = dCardNames[i]

aCards[1][i] = dSuits[0]

aCards[1][i + 13] = dSuits[1]

aCards[1][i + 26] = dSuits[2]

aCards[1][i + 39] = dSuits[3]

aCards[2][i] = dCardValues[i]

aCards[2][i + 13] = dCardValues[i]

aCards[2][i + 26] = dCardValues[i]

aCards[2][i + 39] = dCardValues[i]

i = i + 1

i = 0

while i < 52:

print (aCards[0][i], " ", aCards[1][i], " ", aCards[2][i])

i = i + 1
