Step 1

1 of 2

card = input("Enter a card notation: ")

# card is string with length 2 
# or 3 (only if the value is 10)

# if length is 2
# first character is value 
if len(card) == 2:
    value = card[0]
    # and second character is sign of the card
    sign = card[1]  
# and if length is 3
# first two characters are value
else:
    value = card[:2]
    # and third is sign
    sign = card[2]
    

if value.upper() == "A":
    output = "Ace "
elif value.upper() == "J":
    output = "Jack "
elif value.upper() == "Q":
    output = "Queen "
elif value.upper() == "K":
    output = "King "
# card value is 2, 3, ..., or 10
else:
    output = value + " "
    
# concatenate the sign of card
if sign.upper() == "D":
    output += "of Diamonds"
elif sign.upper() == "H":
    output += "of Hearts"
elif sign.upper() == "S":
    output += "of Spades"
else:
    output += "of Clubs"
    
# print an output 
print(output)
