Nearly everything is possible; you just have to order your thoughts correctly :-) In this case, you're looking for a way of mapping from cards to values. Python has a mapping type built in, called a dictionary. You can read about it here: http://docs.python.org/tut/node7.html#SECTION007500000000000000000 and here: http://docs.python.org/lib/typesmapping.html -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
