OOP Deck and REST API | Dataford Interview Questions

Write an application in the language of your choice using OOP that creates a deck of cards, deals the deck, and shuffles it; then create a REST API and test it with Postman; also write a program for Conway's game of life.

For grading, implement card_service_and_life(deck, operations, board, generations). deck is a list of card strings, and each operation is a dictionary with action deal and count, or shuffle and seed. Return API-style responses plus the final Game of Life board after the requested generations. Use standard-library Python only; the board contains 0 and 1 values.

Constraints

0 <= len(deck) <= 52
0 <= len(operations) <= 100
Each card is a string
Each deal count is nonnegative and does not exceed the number of remaining cards
The board is rectangular and contains only 0 or 1
0 <= len(board) <= 100
0 <= len(board[0]) <= 100 when the board is nonempty
0 <= generations <= 100

Function Signature

def card_service_and_life(deck, operations, board, generations):
