ahead and this time do the following
792.32
4.16
because i need to shuffle something like
794.56
3.76
a deck of cards let me go ahead and not
796.48
3.44
just import random but let me give
798.32
3.68
myself a variable called cards that's
799.92
4.159
going to be of type list and just so i
802
3.839
have something to shuffle i don't need
804.079
4.161
all 52 cards in a typical deck i'm just
805.839
4.721
going to shuffle three cards a jack a
808.24
4.48
queen and a king i could call those
810.56
3.519
strings anything i want but i just
812.72
3.6
wanted a list of some values so as to
814.079
4.081
shuffle them up that is randomize the
816.32
3.92
order they're in well how does this now
818.16
3.679
work if you read the documentation for
820.24
4.08
random.shuffle you'll see that it
821.839
5.841
shuffles the argument in place that is
824.32
5.04
unlike many of the functions we've seen
827.68
4.08
it doesn't return to a value that
829.36
4.719
contains the shuffled cards in this case
831.76
5.04
it actually shuffles the list it's given
834.079
4.88
itself so what this means for my code is
836.8
4.08
that i need to do something like this
838.959
5.041
random random.shuffle and pass in the
840.88
6
variable containing those cards and then
844
5.12
on a final line here how might i go
846.88
4.88
about printing the cards well i could do
849.12
5.12
this and i could say print cards but if
851.76
3.84
i do that i'm actually going to see
854.24
3.44
python syntax for lists and it's just
855.6
4.32
going to format in its own way using
857.68
3.76
commas and the like i want to print
859.92
3.12
these cards out one at a time just
861.44
2.8
because i think it'll look a little
863.04
3.28
better so we can use some of our syntax
864.24
4.48
from loops and say something like this
866.32
5.84
for card in cards go ahead and print out
868.72
5.919
the current card so what's now happening
872.16
4.96
here line three i'm defining a list of
874.639
5.76
three cards in this order jack queen
877.12
4.079
king
880.399
2.56
i'm then shuffling those same cards on
881.199
3.841
line four and then on line five i'm
882.959
4.721
using a for loop for each of the cards
885.04
5.599
in that list print it out one at a time
887.68
5.36
and because i'm using print one line at
890.639
4.32
a time well let's see the results down
893.04
3.039
here in my terminal window i'm going to
894.959
3.761
run python of generate.pi and hit enter
896.079
5.44
queen king jack seemingly shuffled
898.72
4.559
because that's not the order i defined
901.519
3.921
earlier let's do it again
903.279
4.321
queen king jack
905.44
3.839
okay that happens to be the same but
907.6
4.08
let's see this could just be bad chance
909.279
5.281
there we go jack queen king doesn't look
911.68
4.399
like it's shuffled but at least we're
914.56
3.279
getting back different orderings now
916.079
2.721
again
917.839
3.921
jack queen king not so good
918.8
4.88
jack queen king not so good this is
921.76
2.879
someone you probably want to play
923.68
3.519
against with cards queen jack king there
924.639
4.56
we go but of course we only have three
927.199
4
cards here so there's not that many
929.199
3.601
permutations we might see and if we do
931.199
3.601
this over time we will see all of them
932.8
4.64
but if we had of course 13 or 52 cards
934.8
5.2
we'd see a lot more permutations instead
937.44
4.48
so we have now these three ways to
940
3.6
generate random information one is
941.92
3.68
simple coin toss if you want to start
943.6
4
some kind of athletic event one pick a
945.6
3.599
number between 1 and 10 if you want to
947.6
3.359
decide something based on that and now
949.199
4
using shuffle we can even take in a list
950.959
4.401
of things and shuffle them about so that
953.199
5.121
we get some kind of random behavior but
955.36
4.719
let me pause here and see if there's any
958.32
2.959
questions yet
960.079
4.88
on random on modules or any of these
961.279
5.521
three functions
964.959
4.32
yeah uh can we increase or decrease the
966.8
4.399
probability
969.279
3.92
of cards
971.199
4.401
if you want to uh for example there is
973.199
4.401
three there is a 33 percent chance of
975.6
3.28
probability
977.6
3.359
so is there any chance to increase or
978.88
4.16
decrease the probability can you set
980.959
4.401
these probabilities not using these same
983.04
4.08
functions uh can you set the
985.36
4
probabilities but you can absolutely
987.12
3.92
implement some of your own functions or
989.36
3.44
use more sophisticated functions that do
991.04
3.68
exist in this library and others to
992.8
3.92
exercise more control these are meant to
994.72
3.6
be very user-friendly and simple
996.72
2.96
functions certainly the ones we looked
998.32
3.199
at that give you equal probability for
999.68
3.76
