Question

Im trying to make my program loop if both computer and human draw the same card it is my game of war i am developing and if both land on the same card i want the program to loop over and draw more cards until the tie is broke! i got it to a new stage but get an error when i run this on pycharm, not sure

what is wrong this time it looks to be ok, i changed all of the values instead of printing it nows sets the value then prints later on in the program

import random
while True:
cardValue = random.randint(2,14)
cardSuit = random.randint (0,3)
humanCard = random.randint (2,14)
humanSuit = random.randint (0,3)


if cardValue == 14:
    print ("Ace")
elif cardValue == 13:
    print ("King")
elif cardValue == 12:
    print ("Queen")
elif cardValue == 11:
    print ("Jack")
elif cardValue < 10:
    print (cardValue)

if cardSuit == 0:
    print ("Spades")
elif cardSuit == 1:
    print ("Diamonds")
elif cardSuit ==2:
    print ("Hearts")
elif cardSuit == 3:
    print *"Clubs"


if humanCard == 14:
    print ("Ace")
elif humanCard == 13:
    print ("King")
elif humanCard == 12:
    print ("Queen")
elif humanCard == 11:
    print ("Jack")
elif humanCard < 10:
    print (cardValue)

if humanSuit == 0:
    print ("Spades")
elif humanSuit == 1:
    print ("Diamonds")
elif humanSuit == 2:
    print ("Hearts")
elif humanSuit ==3:
    print ("Clubs")


if humanCard > cardValue:
    print("Human Wins!")
    break
elif humanCard < cardValue:
    print('Computer Wins!')
    break
else:
    print ('Its a draw!')
    while True:
        continue

Answer 1

I would do it this way (requires python 3.6 because of the f-strings on the print's):

import random

suits        = ['Spades', 'Diamonds', 'Hearts', 'Clubs']
cards        = ['2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','Jack','Queen','King','Ace']
cards_values = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]

map_cards_values = dict(zip(cards,cards_values))
end_game = False

while not end_game:
    aiCard    = random.choice(cards)
    aiSuit    = random.choice(suits)
    humanCard = random.choice(cards)
    humanSuit = random.choice(suits)

    print(f"AI card is a {aiCard} of {aiSuit}")
    print(f"Human card is a {humanCard} of {humanSuit}")

    if map_cards_values[aiCard] != map_cards_values[humanCard]:
        end_game=True

I see you are using a while (True) infinite loop. Using an infinite loop is ok. But this code while True: continue will get you stuck forever, because continue simply says go to the next iteration.
Your code that draws the card should be inside the while (True) loop. Since you like new cards to be drawn in each round.

Below is a modified version of your code. Carefully reason through it line-by-line.

import random

while True:
  cardValue = random.randint(2,14)
  cardSuit  = random.randint(0,3)
  humanCard = random.randint(2,14)
  humanSuit = random.randint(0,3)

  # do whatever you do to print the cards

  if humanCard > cardValue:
      print ("Human Wins!")
      break # exit while loop
  elif humanCard < cardValue:
      print ("Computer Wins!")
      break # exit while loop
  else: # they draw same card
      print ("It's a draw!")
      # keep going
      while True:
        continue
