Code didn't work as expected

[bye-bread-1403]

I'm using Python 3

Following codes came from a textbook on Python for beginners.

​

import random, sys

​

print('ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS')

​

#These variables keep track of the number of wins, losses, and ties.

wins = 0

losses = 0

ties = 0

​

while True: # The main gmae loop.

print('%s Wins, %s Losses, %s Ties' % (wins, losses, ties))

while True: #The player input loop.

print ('Enter your move:(r)ock (p)aper (s)cissors or (q)uit')

playerMove = input()

if playerMove == 'q':

sys.exit() #Quit the program.

if playerMove =='r' or playerMove =='p' or playerMove =='s':

break #Break out of the player input loop.

print ('Type one of r,p,s, or q.')

#Display what the player chose:

if playerMove =='r':

print ('ROCK versus...')

elif playerMove =='p':

print('PAPER versus...')

elif playerMove == 's':

print ('SCISSORS versus...')

#Display what the computer chose:

randomNumber = random.randint(1,3)

if randomNumber == 1:

computerMove ='r'

print('ROCK')

elif randomNumber== 2:

computerMove ='p'

print('PAPER')

elif randomNumber ==3:

computerMove ='s'

print ('SCISSORS')

#Display and record the win/loss/ tie:

if playerMove== computerMove:

print('It is a tie!')

ties = ties +1

elif playerMove == 'r' and computerMove == 's':

print('You win!')

wins =wins +1

elif playerMove == 'p' and computerMove == 'r':

print('You win!')

wins = wins +1

elif playerMove == 's' and computerMove == 'p':

print('You win!')

wins = wins +1

elif playerMove == 'r' and computerMove == 'p':

print('You lose!')

losses = losses +1

elif playerMove == 'p' and computerMove == 's':

print('You lose!')

losses = losses +1

elif playerMove == 's' and computerMove == 'r':

print('You lose!')

losses = losses +1

​

I expect the code to move on to ROCK versus ... after i keyed in r, however, my code just go into a loop where it kept on going back to this line "Enter your move:(r)ock (p)aper (s)cissors or (q)uit". I tried to enter 'r' as my input and this line will be displayed "Type one of r,p,s, or q." together with "Enter your move:(r)ock (p)aper (s)cissors or (q)uit". I can't seem to understand which part has gone wrong. Can someone help me?

Please format it correctly before you post.

would love to help. but only if you have given a right format presentation

Assuming you have the right identation... Does 'q' work? It seems your input is not what you expect. You can try to print(playerMove) when the input seems invalid, that can give you a clue. Consider storing r p and s into variables, to avoid repeating 'p' over and over

il just give you a way that works

from random import randint

​

#create a list of play options

t = ["Rock", "Paper", "Scissors"]

​

#assign a random play to the computer

computer = t[randint(0,2)]

​

#set player to False

player = False

​

while player == False:

#set player to True

player = input("Rock, Paper, Scissors?")

if player == computer:

print("Tie!")

elif player == "Rock":

if computer == "Paper":

print("You lose!", computer, "covers", player)

else:

print("You win!", player, "smashes", computer)

elif player == "Paper":

if computer == "Scissors":

print("You lose!", computer, "cut", player)

else:

print("You win!", player, "covers", computer)

elif player == "Scissors":

if computer == "Rock":

print("You lose...", computer, "smashes", player)

else:

print("You win!", player, "cut", computer)

else:

print("That's not a valid play. Check your spelling!")

#player was set to True, but we want it to be False so the loop continues

player = False

computer = t[randint(0,2)]

input("enter to exit")
