class Card[source]

Card(suit=0, rank=2)

Represents a standard playing card.

Attributes: suit: integer 0-3 rank: integer 1-13

Card is a class that represents a single card in a deck of cards. For example:

Card(suit=2, rank=11)

Jack of Hearts

c = Card(suit=1, rank=3)
assert str(c) == '3 of Diamonds'

c2 = Card(suit=2, rank=11)
assert str(c2) == 'Jack of Hearts'

You can do comparisons of cards, too!

assert c2 > c

Note: Look at fastcore’s testing utilities for convenience functions that print out helpful error messages by default when there is an error. These convenience functions are an improvement upon using assert.

You can show the docs for methods by calling show_doc. For example, the code show_doc(Card.eq) produces the following documentation:

Card.__eq__[source]

Card.__eq__(other)

Checks whether self and other have the same rank and suit.

card1 = Card(suit=1, rank=3)
card2 = Card(suit=1, rank=3)
assert card1 == card2
