In card games the computer picks a random card. How could u make it so that when it randomly picks a number it destroys it and can't be used again?

I think the magicdeque object does exactly that, but I've never used it

You could also use a list object.
Fill it up with the values you need, then generate a random number based on the number of lines in the list, retrieve the appropriate value, and remove the line from the list.
It's handy for the fact that the lines will automatically compress to not leave any holes.

but then youd need a way to load all the values back into the list if you wanna shuffle all the cards and start over. also if you save all values somewhere (like an array) you can remember where all the cards are in the deck at any time. which would probably be a better way of shuffling cards. randomly fill the list with numbers without repeating any numbers and then youd have a truly shuffled deck.
