hi, Thank you for the wonderful python object-oriented book.
But I was a little confused when I tried to practice the code in chapter 1.

We always take cards from the top, not the bottom, Is it better to use pop(0) in code?
when the code run pop(), the pointer is always placed in the last position, The next card will always be NULL;
If i take a card from the top with pop(0), next is the top card, as described in the original book.

You do need to save the nextCardSuite to Current Card Suit, or else you game shows

Next card is: King of Spades
You got it right, it was higher
Your score is: 70

Will the next card be higher or lower than the King of Clubs?  (enter h or l):  

Which when you ask higher or lower you display current suit value

Hi, this is about as minor as it gets, but in case it's useful...

The comment in line 11 of HigherOrLowerProcedural.py states that the function getCard returns a random card. This doesn't seem to be true - it returns the first card in the list, or the "top" one.

# Pass in a deck and this function returns a random card from the deck
def getCard(deckListIn):
    thisCard = deckListIn.pop() # pops one off the top of the deck and returns it
    return thisCard

Thanks from a happy reader!
