Get the sum of a list

I'm trying to get the value of the cards dealt to a user. Can anyone give me a hand with what I can do? Thanks

import random
from random import shuffle

# Define the deck
def deck1():
    hand = []
    deck = {"Two": 2, "Three": 3, "Four": 4, "Five": 5, "Six": 6, "Seven": 7, "Eight": 8, 
            "Nine": 9, "Ten": 10, "Jack": 11, "Queen": 12, "King": 13, "Ace": 14}
    keys = list(deck.keys())
    random.shuffle(keys)
    shuffled = keys.pop()
    hand.append(shuffled)
    return hand

Create the user hand

userhand = []
for i in range(2):
    userhand.append(deck1())
print(userhand)

# Get the sum of the user hand
print(sum(userhand))

First you need dect = {...} outside function because it is needed to sum cards

I assume userhand keeps two players

for player in userhand:
    print(sum(deck[cardname] for cardname in player))

or longer but simpler for beginner

for player in userhand:
    result = 0
    for cardname in player:
        result += deck[cardname]
    print(result)

If userhand keep only one player then you can nested sum()

print( sum(sum(deck[cardname] for cardname in hand) for hand in userhand) )

or longer but simpler for beginner

total_result = 0

for hand in userhand:
    result = 0
    for cardname in hand:
        result += deck[cardname]
    total_result += result    

print(total_result)

Or you could use return shuffled in deck1() because it returns only one card and there is no need to return it as list. It will create simpler data in userhand and it will need simpler code to sum it.

Minimal working code

import random
from random import shuffle

deck = {"Two": 2, "Three": 3, "Four": 4, "Five": 5, "Six": 6, "Seven": 7, "Eight": 8, 
        "Nine": 9, "Ten": 10, "Jack": 11, "Queen": 12, "King": 13, "Ace": 14}

# Define the deck
def deck1():
    hand = []
    keys = list(deck.keys())
    random.shuffle(keys)
    shuffled = keys.pop()
    hand.append(shuffled)
    return hand

userhand = []
for i in range(2):
    userhand.append(deck1())
print(userhand)

# Get the sum of the user hand
for player in userhand:
    print(sum(deck[cardname] for cardname in player))

for player in userhand:
    result = 0
    for cardname in player:
        result += deck[cardname]
    print(result)

print( sum(sum(deck[cardname] for cardname in hand) for hand in userhand) )


total_result = 0
for hand in userhand:
    result = 0
    for cardname in hand:
        result += deck[cardname]
    total_result += result    
print(total_result)
