    suitList = ["Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", "Spades"]
    rankList = ["Invalid", "Ace", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7",
                "8", "9", "10", "Jack", "Queen", "King"]

    def __init__ (self, suit=0, rank=1):
        if suit >= 0 and suit <= 3:
            self.suit = suit
        else:
            self.suit = 0
        if rank >= 1 and rank <= 13:
            self.rank = rank
        else:
            self.rank = 1

    def __str__(self):
        return self.rankList[self.rank] + " of " + self.suitList[self.suit]
        

class Deck:

    def __init__(self):
        self.cards.sort
        self.cards = [] 
        for suit in range(4):
            for rank in range(1,14):
                self.cards.append(Card(suit, rank))
                

    def __str__(self):
        s = ""
        for i in range(len(self.cards)):        
            s = s + (" " * i) + str(self.cards[i]) + "\n"
        return s
            
    def __str__(self):
        return '\n'.join([str(self.cards[i]) for i in range(len(self.cards))])
   
def main():
    card_deck = Deck()
    print "Original deck:"
    print card_deck
    print
    
main()
