Basic python help

[haskell]

Hello I am new to python and need some help with a basic program (I dont know if this is really the correct forum but I couldnt make an account on some other ones)

I am making a text based idle adaption of the game 21. I want to use a function to easily count the scores of the player / computer. This is the bit of the program I am having issue with:

This is the points list for reference

points = [ ]
p=4
while p != 0:
points.append("ace")
for o in range(2,11):
points.append(o)
i = [10, 10, 10]
points.extend(i)
p=p-1



It is meant to reset the players points and recount it.

def count(a,b):
a = 0
aces = 0
for z in b:
if points[z] != "ace":
a = a + points[z]
else:
aces = aces + 1

if aces == 1:
if a > 10:
a = a + 1
else:
a = a + 11
if aces == 2:
if a > 9:
a = a + 2
else:
a = a + 12
if aces == 3:
if a > 8:
a = a + 3
else:
a = a + 13
if aces == 4:
if a > 7:
a = a + 14
else:
a = a + 4


An example of how I would use it

hand = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
player_points = 0

count(player_points,hand)
print(player_points)

It doesnt work and would keep the points at 0, I know this may be very wrong but please help.

This isn't a general python help form, but rather focused on micropython in particular.

I recommend that you head on over to: http://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython

You also really need to preview your post before you post it. Put your code inside

Code: Select all

otherwise it loses all of the indentation, which makes it really hard to even read the code.
