Nom here,

I am trying to make a simple Black Jack game, but i am having trouble with if functions relating to generated numbers.
Being Python isnt really important because this simple feature is on most programming languages.

So what did i do wrong?

Ideally after receiving a 2 as the random number it should print 2 again.
The strange part is the elif function for 3 works... i think it has to do with me having OR in the argument.

(1 or 2) doesn't work.  It would have to be:

if randy == 1 or randy == 2:

What is happening currently is (1 or 2) resolves to "true", because or is a boolean operator and numbers are treated as true.  Then you are comparing (randy == true).

Thanks! that was helpful. Now in the case of a real blackjack game, there will obviously be more than 3 cards, so how do you do a "thorugh" or "between" test?
For example, i thought it was (but am incorrect)

if randy == (1:10):
    etc, etc, etc

<!-- Meaning that if randy is from 1 to 10, run function --!>

Thanks in advance

I'd do something like:

if(randy >= 1 and randy <= 10)

Which is "If randy is greater than or equal to 1 and randy is less than or equal to 10".

if(randy >= 1 and randy <= 10)

Which is "If randy is greater than or equal to 1 and randy is less than or equal to 10".

Thanks that worked! IOU1
