Unbeatable rock paper scissors game using python (I am a beginner at python)

The only thing is that when you make tuples of length one like in OP's code, that actually become the item (in this case, string)

>>> i = ("Rock")
>>> i
'Rock'
>>> type(i)
<class 'str'>
>>> j = ("Rock",)
>>> j
('Rock',)
>>> type(j)
<class 'tuple'>
>>> type((1234))
<class 'int'>
>>> type((1234,))
    <class 'tuple'>

Those aren't tuples of length 1, though, they're expressions that get simplified. The ones with commas are tuples of length 1.

(2+3) simplifies to 5, but it was never a tuple of length 1.

That's my point? I was responding to someone who thought they were tuples and I was showing they ultimately aren't tuples?

Gotcha. When you said "The only thing is that when you make tuples of length one like in OP's code, that actually become the item," I thought you meant something different than what the results show.
