How can I make it print ace for 1, jack for 11, queen for 12 and king for 13 while playing the game

How can I make it print ace instead of 1, jack instead of 11, queen instead of 12 and king instead of 13, while playing the game, with the python program still working properly.

Is there a way I can do this without changing too much.

This is my code:

import random

dealer_cards =
player_cards =

while len(dealer_cards) != 2:
dealer_cards.append(random.randint(1, 13))
if len(dealer_cards) == 2:
print('The dealer has a hidden card and', dealer_cards[1])

while len(player_cards) != 2:
player_cards.append(random.randint(1, 11))
if len(player_cards) == 2:
print('You have the cards,', player_cards)

if sum(dealer_cards) == 21:
print('The dealer has the cards,', dealer_cards)
print('The dealer has won because he has 21!')
exit()

if sum(player_cards) == 21 and sum(dealer_cards) == 21:
print('draw')
exit()

elif sum(dealer_cards) > 21:
print('The dealer has the cards,', dealer_cards)
print('The dealer has bust because he has over 21!')
exit()

while sum(player_cards) < 21:
choice = str(input('Choose twist or stick? '))
if choice == 'twist':
player_cards.append(random.randint(1, 11))
print('You now have the cards,', player_cards)
else:
print('The dealer has the cards,', dealer_cards)
print('You have the cards,', player_cards)
if sum(dealer_cards) > sum(player_cards):
print('The dealer has won!')
break
else:
print('You have won!')
break

if sum(player_cards) > 21:
print('You have bust because you are over 21!')

elif sum(player_cards) == 21:
print('You have won because you have 21')


Card

__str__

You can make a dict of names and use it to extract the name:

card_names =
1: 'Ace',
11: 'Jack',
12: 'Queen',
13: 'King',


>>> n = 12
>>> print(card_names.get(n, n))
Queen


The second parameter to get makes sure that if a number is not found in the dict it is printed as it is.

get

Now, your code is printing lists, that makes it more complex. You have to query that dict for each element of the list.

Your code:

print('You now have the cards,', player_cards)


Becomes:

print('You now have the cards: ',
', '.join(str(card_names.get(c, c)) for c in player_cards))


That will iterate over the cards and query the dict one by one. Do that every time you're printing a list and it will work.

Since you have to repeat that snippet every time you're printing a list, you can create a function to avoid repetition:

def format_card_list(card_list):
return ', '.join(str(card_names.get(c, c)) for c in card_list))


Then use it in your code:

print('You now have the cards: ', format_card_list(player_cards))
...
print('The dealer has the cards,', format_card_list(dealer_cards))
...


etc
