Deck class can be called to generate a deck of playing card. Initially, the deck is ordered.

deck = Deck()
deck

shuffle() method could be used to shuffle the deck.

deck.shuffle()
deck

Q♥; 6♥; 4♥; Q♣; 8♥; K♣; A♦; Q♠; 7♠; 5♦; J♣; J♥; 6♠; A♣; 9♥; 9♣; J♠; A♠; 10♥; 3♥; 7♦; K♠; 4♠; 2♦; 5♠; K♦; 10♣; 5♣; 4♦; 8♣; 7♣; 10♠; Q♦; K♥; A♥; 7♥; 6♦; 3♠; 3♦; 9♦; 4♣; 6♣; 3♣; 8♦; 5♥; 9♠; 10♦; 2♠; J♦; 8♠; 2♥; 2♣

draw_n() function can be used to draw n card with or without replacement.

let’s draw 10 cards with replacement.

draw_n(10, replace=True)

[10♦, 3♣, 6♦, Q♦, 3♥, K♠, 4♣, K♣, 3♣, 2♦]

now let’s draw 10 cards without replacement.

draw_n(10, replace=False)

[Q♣, A♥, A♦, J♦, 2♦, 5♠, 8♦, J♥, 5♣, 3♠]

Example: One can draw two sets of cards each set contains four cards and compare to see which one has higher rank.
