Card Methods

Looking at the code for our Deck and Hand classes we can see explicit calls to the Card constructor __init__ invoked by Card(cardnum) and the __str__ method invoked via str(card). The necessary Card class can be written as,

Notes:

• A Card object has a single attribute: its card number.
• The __str__ method calls on two other Card methods to get the string representations of the card's face value and suit: face_value and suit.
• The lists face_values and suits are class variables. All members of the class share access to them. Note that they are accessed by prefixing them with the class name, i.e. we use Card.suits not just suits.
