Python - Lists

Challenge 9

Creating a list

>>> cars = []
>>> print(cars)
[]

>>> cars = ['Ford', 'Vauxhall', 'BMW',]
>>> print(cars)
['Ford', 'Vauxhall', 'BMW']

>>> squares = [1, 4, 9, 16,]
>>> print(squares)
[1, 4, 9, 16]

Get item from a list

>>> print(cars[2])
'BMW'

>>> print(cars[0])
'Ford'

>>> print(cars[-1])
'BMW'

>>> print(cars[0:2])
['Ford', 'Vauxhall']

Add item to a list

>>> cars.append('Toyota')
>>> print(cars)
['Ford', 'Vauxhall', 'BMW', 'Toyota']

Replace an item in a list

>>> print(cars)
['Ford', 'Vauxhall', 'BMW', 'Toyota']
>>> cars[2]('Nissan')
>>> print(cars)
['Ford', 'Vauxhall', 'Nissan', 'Toyota']

Delete an item in a list

>>> print(cars)
['Ford', 'Vauxhall', 'Nissan', 'Toyota']
>>> cars.remove('Nissan')
>>> print(cars)
['Ford', 'Vauxhall', 'Toyota']

Delete a list

>>> print(cars)
['Ford', 'Vauxhall', 'Nissan', 'Toyota']
>>> cars.clear()
>>> print(cars)
[]

Various other methods

list.pop()

list.index(value)

list.count(value)

list.sort()

list.reverse()

list.copy()

Python Challenge 9

Write a program that will generate a random playing card when the return key is pressed.
Rather than generate a random number from 1 to 52. Create two random numbers – one for the suit and one for the card.

Write a program that will generate a random playing card when the return key is pressed.

#imports

suit = ["Spades", "Hearts", "Clubs", "Diamonds"]
number = ["Ace", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Jack", "Queen", "King"]

print("Press 'q' to exit the program... ")
choice = ' '
choice = input('Press "Enter" to get a new random playing card...\n')
while choice != 'q' :
    cardNumber = number[random.randint(0, 12)]
    cardSuit = suit[random.randint(0, 3)]
    print("The card drawn was the \"{} of {}\". " .format(cardNumber, cardSuit))
    choice = input('Press "Enter" to get a new random playing card...\n').lower()
