functions that illustrate modules random and time

# Area of a circle
def area(radius):
  import math
  return math.pi * radius ** 2

# Deal a hand of n cards
def dealHand(n):
  import random        # Import the functions from module random
  deck = range(1, 53)  # A fresh deck is cards 1..52 (where 1..13 are spades, etc.)
  random.shuffle(deck) # Shuffle the deck. I.e. randomize order of list elements
  return deck[0 : n]   # Return the first n of the shuffled deck

# Roll n (six-sided) dice
def rollDice(n):
  import random
  total = 0
  for die in range(n):
    roll = int((random.random() * 6) + 1)
    total = total + roll
  return total

# What day is it?
def todaysDay():
  import time          # Import the functions from module time
  now = time.ctime()   # Get the current time and date in string format
  return now[0:3]

# What year is it?
def thisYear():
  import time          # Import the functions from module time
  now = time.ctime()   # Get the current time and date in string format
  return now[-4:]      # Find last four digits. That's the year
