You never defined them before using them in the call to main

#

So main has no idea what they are

#

How do I define them

#

I thought I did

icy wave Dec 31, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

Where did you do it?

#

Something like deck = ...

empty crystal Dec 31, 2023, 4:20 AM

#

deck is defined in line 29

#

deck = []

icy wave Dec 31, 2023, 4:21 AM

#

But that's in a function which means the main call that's outside the function cannot access it

#

and hand is defined in line 6 then redefined in line 100 and 105

#

oh

#

empty crystal and hand is defined in line 6 then redefined in line 100 and 105

The ones in 100 and 105 are inside the main function. So should they be an argument to the main function or not?

empty crystal Dec 31, 2023, 4:22 AM

#

yes

icy wave Dec 31, 2023, 4:23 AM

#

Really?

empty crystal Dec 31, 2023, 4:24 AM

#

well youre saying that so now i think maybe not

#

is the answer n

#

no

icy wave Dec 31, 2023, 4:24 AM

#

Maybe think about it for a bit 😉

empty crystal Dec 31, 2023, 4:25 AM

#

it has to be an argument in the main function or you wouldnt be able to call fun dealAHand

icy wave Dec 31, 2023, 4:40 AM

#

But where's you deck coming from?

#

Wait I'm confused
