Your indentation is all messed up. You have a break outside of a loop. This statement is invalid Python:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

else tp == 21:

Function rc() is undefined.

imran akhtar

ok understand, how would i sort out, the "else tp ==21" cause i dont seem to understand wht the problem is. and how i solve it.

boxfish

Use elif:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

elif tp ==21:

else cannot be used with a condition, but elif can.
Hope this helps.

imran akhtar

yeh, but if you see my code, i have used "elif"

imran akhtar

ok thnaks boxfish, i have changed to elif, but it still has syntax error.

bvdet

imran akhtar,

If you experience an error with your code, please post the error message and include all tracebacks. That will give us (and you) an idea of what the problem is. The statement "it still has syntax error" does not tell me anything that I don't already know. A syntax error could be something as simple as a missing parenthesis.

-BV

imran akhtar

there is still an error at this code "elif tp ==21:" and there is pop up which just displays an error with syntax.

i have sorted the problem, with the "elif tp ==21:" but know program has another error message,

when you now run the program, the error message stops here,were i have highlighted in bold, thats were the error message stops (the error message which is displayed syntax error)

while True:
# loop for the computer's play ...
comp = []
comp.append(rc(cards))
comp.append(rc(cards)) # dealer generally stands around 17 or 18
while True

bvdet

The random module does not define names cards or games. Apparently, the author of this code added these names to his random module or created his own random module.

bvdet

This is likely an indentation error. Did you ever define function rc()?

imran akhtar

yeh i thought this defined the rc() "from random import choice as rc" and i dont thinnk its indetation error, as normally python, will says if it was indentation error.

imran akhtar,

I have merged the three threads you started on blackjack. It is against posting guidelines to create multiple threads on the same question. Apparently, you have obtained code from various places (none of which you wrote), and they all have problems which you are asking us to help with (with little or no effort on your part). In the future, please refrain from this type of posting.

I don't know the rules to blackjack, but from what I read on Wikipedia, it looks like the player can choose whether to value an ace as 1 or 11 in order to increase his chance of winning; am I right? So if that's the case, do you want to prompt the user asking whether she wants to value an ace as 1 or 11, or have the computer find the best value for the card? For storing aces in your array of cards, I think you can pick any value you want, for example 1, -1, or "a", and have the program interpert that as an ace.

bvdet

Where's the "Hit Me" option? I think it would be better to actually deal cards that can be valued, and let the computer decide if an ace should be 1 or 11. I have code for Cards and Deck classes that could be used in a blackjack game. I have added to and modified them. I don't know where the original code came from.

In the output and interaction above, hand2 had an Ace, and was originally scored as 11. I hit hand2, and the Ace was scored as 1.

thanks for ur help, but the code, above, is bit counfusing, as it runs, how do i actually play it,

bvdet

The code I posted is not a complete game, just some code that may be useful in a blackjack game. When I find some time, I'll add some to it. I've got to get some work done now.

ok thanks, when you have time, please do so, i am very greatful, for your help.

imran akhtar

this qucik question wht does it mean , by the pontoon’ rule.

imran akhtar

would do u mean by "At this time, there is no check for "blackjack" or "natural" (a total of 21 in your first two cards)."

imran akhtar

i played the game, it is pretty good, is this the complete code.

bvdet

The code is complete, as far as what I have written. Can't you play a complete game?

If a player gets 21 with the first two cards. it is called a "natural" or "blackjack". The code does not check for this. If I add anything to the code, it will be a check for a "blackjack".

-BV

imran akhtar

this code is a poontoon rule, or is a stick at 16 rule.

bvdet

This is not pontoon blackjack. The dealer sticks when the value of his hand is greater than the value of variable dealer_hit_threshold.
