You can do

if (count := len(hand)) != 5:
    # do something with "count"

Btw, looks much nicer

I’ll use ternary operators when you force them into my cold, dead hands

It’s not the ternary operator, it is the walrus operator introduced in Python 3.8 if I’m correct

@conditional_soup@lemm.ee · 2 years ago

You are correct. I came back to say that I’ll use the walrus operator when it’s pushed into my cold, dead hands, but… I might actually use it, now that I’ve refreshed myself on it.
