In the 3rd question of Activity 4.1, Why should we keep Y? Since the comparison is only between two cards X and Y, if one doesn't match with another then both can be discarded from the deck!
please clarify.

Y is a loop variable.
Let's say you've 5 cards, Take card-1. It's compared with the rest of the cards in a loop. Here, card-1 is X and card-2 is the card-2, 3,4,5.
You wouldn't want to throw away any card other than card-1 after the rest of the cards are compared with card-1. Agreed?

Hi,
I think Anand explained well. You can go through his explanation.
If you still have doubt please write us again.

But here there are only 2 cards , cards X and Y, so why keep Y for further iteration ?

no, it's not only two cards,
We're dealing with all cards in the dataset.
We're using X to represent one card, and Y to represent to all the rest of the cards (one at a time in a loop)
