I am making a top trumps game in python and I need some help with something.
I need to assign names from a txt file to an index but to an amount given by the user.



def game():
cards = input("How many cards do you want to play with? (answer must be greater than 4, less than 30 and even n")
cards = int(cards)
if cards % 2 != 0:
print("Error, answer must be even")
print(cards % 2)
menu()
if cards < 4 or cards > 30:
print("Error, answer must be greater than 4 and less than 30")
menu()
with open("dogs.txt","r") as f:


This is the code but I can't think of what to put after opening the file, if anyone can help me would be appreciated.
