Rummy starting hand

Calculate the probability a set of cards of size N to include a matching set with at least 30 points.

python startinghand.py

Probabilities of the standard deck without jokers:

# cards	probability
0	0.0 %
1	0.0 %
2	0.0 %
3	0.1 %
4	0.5 %
5	1.2 %
6	2.5 %
7	4.0 %
8	6.1 %
9	8.6 %
10	12.2 %
11	15.5 %
12	19.6 %
13	24.4 %
14	28.9 %
15	34.8 %
16	40.6 %
17	45.0 %
18	51.0 %
19	56.4 %
20	61.5 %

You can also change the deck:

import startinghand
from startinghand import COLORS, VALUES, DECK

# The default deck has 4 colors, 13 values and 2 cards of each:
# print(startinghand.COLORS)
# print(startinghand.VALUES)
# print(len(startinghand.DECK))

# Sample until Ctrl + C
startinghand.calculate_probability(
    num_cards=14,
    deck=DECK,
    colors=COLORS,
    values=VALUES)

TODO:

• Format code
• Add support for jokers which should increase the probability.
