This is what the function is doing: it gets two arrays of tuples with 5 items each - hand = [H1,H2,H3,H4,H5] and board = [B1,B2,B3,B4,B5]



What I need to do is check all arrays formed by 2 items from hand and 3 items from board, like combination = [Hn,Hm,Bi,Bj,Bk] (100 combinations in total)



Then I need to compare each one of the combinations against a dictionary to get the combination rank, and then return the best array (best rank) and the rank itself:



def check_hand(hand, board, dictionary_A, dictionary_B):

best_hand = []
first_int = True

for h1 in range (0, 4):
for h2 in range (h1+1, 5):
for b1 in range (0, 3):
for b2 in range (b1+1, 4):
for b3 in range (b2+1, 5):
hand_check = []
hand_check.append(hand[m1])
hand_check.append(hand[m2])
hand_check.append(board[b1])
hand_check.append(board[b2])
hand_check.append(board[b3])
hand_check = sort(hand_check) #Custom sort for my array of objects
hand_ranks = "".join([str(hand_check[0].rank),str(hand_check[1].rank),str(hand_check[2].rank),str(hand_check[3].rank),str(hand_check[4].rank)])

if (hand_check[0].suit == hand_check[1].suit and hand_check[1].suit == hand_check[2].suit and hand_check[2].suit == hand_check[3].suit and hand_check[3].suit == hand_check[4].suit):
control = [dictionary_A[hand_ranks][0],dictionary_A[hand_ranks][1]]
else:
control = [dictionary_B[hand_ranks][0],dictionary_B[hand_ranks][1]]

if first_int:
best_hand = hand_check
rank = control
first_int = False
elif (int(control[0]) > int(rank[0])):
rank = control
best_hand = hand_check
elif (int(control[0]) == int(rank[0])):
if (int(control[1]) > int(rank[1])):
rank = control
best_hand = hand_check

return best_hand, rank[0]


I need to run this check for 2 million different hands and interact over 1000 times for every hand (Ideally I would run it for at least 100000 times for every hand, for a more statistically accurate result).
Any ideas on how to make it more efficient?



Examples:
I added some "prints" on the way for better understanding:

Best Hand: 2♣2♥J♦︎K♥K♠ Rank: 3



Just wondering if there is a way to run the piece of code below more efficiently. I just started to get acquainted with parallel program and think this might be an answer? But I have no idea how to do it using imap or processes.

This is what the function is doing: it gets two arrays of tuples with 5 items each - hand = [H1,H2,H3,H4,H5] and board = [B1,B2,B3,B4,B5]



What I need to do is check all arrays formed by 2 items from hand and 3 items from board, like combination = [Hn,Hm,Bi,Bj,Bk] (100 combinations in total)



Then I need to compare each one of the combinations against a dictionary to get the combination rank, and then return the best array (best rank) and the rank itself:



def check_hand(hand, board, dictionary_A, dictionary_B):

best_hand = []
first_int = True

for h1 in range (0, 4):
for h2 in range (h1+1, 5):
for b1 in range (0, 3):
for b2 in range (b1+1, 4):
for b3 in range (b2+1, 5):
hand_check = []
hand_check.append(hand[m1])
hand_check.append(hand[m2])
hand_check.append(board[b1])
hand_check.append(board[b2])
hand_check.append(board[b3])
hand_check = sort(hand_check) #Custom sort for my array of objects
hand_ranks = "".join([str(hand_check[0].rank),str(hand_check[1].rank),str(hand_check[2].rank),str(hand_check[3].rank),str(hand_check[4].rank)])

if (hand_check[0].suit == hand_check[1].suit and hand_check[1].suit == hand_check[2].suit and hand_check[2].suit == hand_check[3].suit and hand_check[3].suit == hand_check[4].suit):
control = [dictionary_A[hand_ranks][0],dictionary_A[hand_ranks][1]]
else:
control = [dictionary_B[hand_ranks][0],dictionary_B[hand_ranks][1]]

if first_int:
best_hand = hand_check
rank = control
first_int = False
elif (int(control[0]) > int(rank[0])):
rank = control
best_hand = hand_check
elif (int(control[0]) == int(rank[0])):
if (int(control[1]) > int(rank[1])):
rank = control
best_hand = hand_check

return best_hand, rank[0]


I need to run this check for 2 million different hands and interact over 1000 times for every hand (Ideally I would run it for at least 100000 times for every hand, for a more statistically accurate result).
Any ideas on how to make it more efficient?



Examples:
I added some "prints" on the way for better understanding:



Hand: Q♥K♥Q♠K♠3♦︎
Board: 2♣2♥J♦︎6♥4♦︎



2♣2♥J♦︎Q♥K♥ - 2♣2♥6♥Q♥K♥ - 2♣2♥4♦︎Q♥K♥ - 2♣6♥J♦︎Q♥K♥ - 2♣4♦︎J♦︎Q♥K♥ -

Best Hand: 2♣2♥J♦︎K♥K♠ Rank: 3



Just wondering if there is a way to run the piece of code below more efficiently. I just started to get acquainted with parallel program and think this might be an answer? But I have no idea how to do it using imap or processes.

    In your example, 2s5h3sTc looks like an incomplete combination. Also, you still haven't explained what mao[m1] is.

    Yes, it was incomplete. And mao = hand (also updated that).
