+
+## Running the tests
+
+We use [pytest][pytest: Getting Started Guide] as our website test runner.
+You will need to install `pytest` on your development machine if you want to run tests for the Python track locally.
+You should also install the following `pytest` plugins:
+
+- [pytest-cache][pytest-cache]
+- [pytest-subtests][pytest-subtests]
+
+Extended information can be found in our website [Python testing guide][Python track tests page].
+
+
+### Running Tests
+
+To run the included tests, navigate to the folder where the exercise is stored using `cd` in your terminal (_replace `{exercise-folder-location}` below with your path_).
+Test files usually end in `_test.py`, and are the same tests that run on the website when a solution is uploaded.
+
+Linux/MacOS
+```bash
+$ cd {path/to/exercise-folder-location}
+```
+
+Windows
+```powershell
+PS C:\Users\foobar> cd {path\to\exercise-folder-location}
+```
+
+<br>
+
+Next, run the `pytest` command in your terminal, replacing `{exercise_test.py}` with the name of the test file:
+
+Linux/MacOS
+```bash
+$ python3 -m pytest -o markers=task {exercise_test.py}
+==================== 7 passed in 0.08s ====================
+```
+
+Windows
+```powershell
+PS C:\Users\foobar> py -m pytest -o markers=task {exercise_test.py}
+==================== 7 passed in 0.08s ====================
+```
+
+
+### Common options
+- `-o` : override default `pytest.ini` (_you can use this to avoid marker warnings_)
+- `-v` : enable verbose output.
+- `-x` : stop running tests on first failure.
+- `--ff` : run failures from previous test before running other test cases.
+
+For additional options, use `python3 -m pytest -h` or `py -m pytest -h`.
+
+
+### Fixing warnings
+
+If you do not use `pytest -o markers=task` when invoking `pytest`, you might receive a `PytestUnknownMarkWarning` for tests that use our new syntax:
+
+```bash
+PytestUnknownMarkWarning: Unknown pytest.mark.task - is this a typo?  You can register custom marks to avoid this warning - for details, see https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/mark.html
+```
+
+To avoid typing `pytest -o markers=task` for every test you run, you can use a `pytest.ini` configuration file.
+We have made one that can be downloaded from the top level of the Python track directory: [pytest.ini][pytest.ini].
+
+You can also create your own `pytest.ini` file with the following content:
+
+```ini
+[pytest]
+markers =
+    task: A concept exercise task.
+```
+
+Placing the `pytest.ini` file in the _root_ or _working_ directory for your Python track exercises will register the marks and stop the warnings.
+More information on pytest marks can be found in the `pytest` documentation on [marking test functions][pytest: marking test functions with attributes] and the `pytest` documentation on [working with custom markers][pytest: working with custom markers].
+
+Information on customizing pytest configurations can be found in the `pytest` documentation on [configuration file formats][pytest: configuration file formats].
+
+
+### Extending your IDE or Code Editor
+
+Many IDEs and code editors have built-in support for using `pytest` and other code quality tools.
+Some community-sourced options can be found on our [Python track tools page][Python track tools page].

+# Hints
+
+[The Python comparisons tutorial][python comparisons tutorial] and [Python comparisons examples][python comparisons examples] are a great introduction covering the content of this exercise.
+
+## 1. Calculate the value of a card
+
+- You can use the equality comparison operator `==` to determine if a card is an ace card: `card == 'A'`.
+- You can use the containment operator `in` to determine if a substring is contained inside a string: `'Q' in 'KJQ'`.
+- You can use the [`int` constructor][int constructor] to convert a `str` of an `int` to an `int`: `int('13')`.
+
+## 2. Determine which card has a higher value
+
+- Once you have defined the `value_of_card` function, you can call it from other functions.
+- You can use the value comparison operators `>` and `<` to determine if specific cards are _greater than_ or _less than_ a given value: `3 < 12`.
+- You can use the equality comparison operator `==` to determine if two values are equal to one another.
+
+## 3. Calculate the value of an ace
+
+- Once you have defined the `value_of_card` function, you can call it from other functions.
+- You can use the order comparison operator `>` to decide the appropriate course of action here.
+
+## 4. Determine Blackjack
+
+- Remember, you can use the [`if`/`elif`/`else` syntax][if syntax] to handle different combinations of cards.
+- You can chain BOTH comparison operators and boolean operators _arbitrarily_: `y < z < x` or `(y or z) and (x or z)`
+- You can reuse the already implemented `value_of_card` function.
+
+## 5. Splitting pairs
+
+- You can reuse the already implemented `value_of_card` function.
+- You can handle the `A` case (when at least one of the cards in an ace) separately.
+
+## 6. Doubling down
+
+- An `A` scored at 11 will never allow doubling down if there are two cards in the hand.
+- Given the first point, you _should_ be able to reuse the already implemented `value_of_card` function.
+- You can chain comparison operators _arbitrarily_: `y < z < x`.
+- You can use the [conditional expression][conditional expression] (_sometimes called a "ternary operator"_)
+  to shorten simple `if`/`else` statements: `13 if letter == 'M' else 3`.
