# Let's see an example using a deck simulator:

suits = 'C', 'D', 'H', 'S'
ranks = tuple(range(2, 11)) + tuple('JQKA')

#%%

deck = []
for suit in suits:
    for rank in ranks:
        deck.append(str(rank) + suit)

print(deck)

#%%
# Or using list comprehension:

deck = [str(rank) + suit for suit in suits for rank in ranks]
print(deck)

#%%
# Notice using sample you don't get repetitions:

from collections import Counter

Counter(random.choices(deck, k=40))
Counter(random.sample(deck, k=52))
