deck of cards / player dealer hand

deck = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

deal the cards

calculate the total of each hand

check for winner

By my count, line 40 is a blank line. Maybe I miscounted.

Do you think it is fair on us for you to ask us to count the lines by
hand to work out what the error is? You have the full error message
shown to you. Please copy and paste the error message, starting with the
line “Traceback…” and going to the end.

But my guess is that the error comes from this line:

dealCard(dealerHand)

just inside the game loop:

for _ in range(2):
    dealCard(dealerHand)
    dealCard(playerHand)

I don’t think you have defined dealerHand or playerHand yet. I think you
need these two lines just before the game loop:

dealerHand = []  # initialise with an empty list
playerHand = []
