for card in self.cards: if card.location == f'{column}{num}': if card.matched:

Can someone please explain to me the 'card.matched' command when we use it here? The complication I am having is that i understand we are checking the cards location to the location within the rows. Then when it comes to the 'if card.matched:' command, how is this command being used to check whether the cards location is correct?

Hopefully the question makes sense.

Hi there kamal diriye , At this point in the course, the matched attribute is false by default and it isn't changed to true in the code just yet. That is why Megan changed them manually when testing the code at the 8min mark of this video. In the next video, the matched attribute will change to true when cards are equal when you build the check_match method in the game class.

Hope this helps!
