title: In Python how do I assign an integer to an element in a list that contains strings?
body: <pre><code>    ## made a list of playing cards e.g. 2C 2 of Clubs and QS is queen of Spades
      num=0
      numberlist=[]
      newSuitList= []
      for i in range(8):
          num = 2
          num = num + i
          num = str(num) + 'C'
          numberlist.append(num)
      for i in range (5):
          suitList = ["T", "J", "Q", "K", "A"]
          suit = suitList[i] + 'C'
          newSuitList.append(suit)
      wholeDeck = numberlist+newSuitList
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>after making the deck, i would like to assign each card a value so
   that the King of Spades(with value 13) would have a higher value than 
  the Queen of Spades(12), for example. I can't figure out how to do it.</p>
