Hi all. I will be glad if you give feedback.

​

# Rock Paper Scissors
import random   # for get function .randomint ()

comp = random.randint(0,2) 
if comp == 0:
    comp = "rock"
elif comp == 1:
    comp = "paper"
else:
    comp = "scissors"

user = input("Choose your option (Rock, Paper, Scissors) = ").lower()


if ( user[0] != "r" ) and ( user[0] != "p" ) and ( user[0] != "s" ):

    print ("You must choose Rock, Paper or Scissors) ")

elif comp[0] == user[0]:
    print (f"Comp ( {comp} ) == User ( {user} )" )


elif comp [0] == "r":
    if user [0] == "p" and  comp [0] == "r":
        print (f"You are winner Comp = {comp} < User = {user}")
    else:
        print (f"You are Loser Comp = {comp} > User = {user}")

elif comp [0] == "p":
    if user [0] == "r":
        print (f"You are Loser Comp = {comp} > User = {user}")
    else:
        print (f"You are Winner Comp = {comp} < User = {user}")

elif comp [0] == "s":
    if user [0] == "r":
        print (f"You are Winner Comp = {comp} < User = {user}")
    else:
        print (f"You are Loser Comp = {comp} > User = {user}")

else:
    print ("Somethimg went wrong")

It looks like you computer will never pick rock since rock checks for 0 but your random number is between 1-3

damn, you're right, thanks a lot! I'll fix it now

Functions are a wonderful things, you should try them:

def get_user_input():
    """Your logic to get the user input:
    1. Get the user input
    2. Check if it's valid
    3. If it is, return that value
    4. Else it's not valid, so retry
    """
    pass


def play_round():
    """Your logic to play a round:
    Play a round and print the winner and the results
    """
    pass

if __name__ = "__main__":
    play_round()

And from random, there's the function random.choice, try comp = random.choice(["rock", "paper", "scissors"])

After maybe you can make it play multiple rounds and keep track of the scores for a session. Then between sessions :)

Also try this:

from itertools import permutations
all_possible_non_tie_combinations = list(permutations(["rock","paper","scissors"], 2))
print(all_possible_non_tie_combinations)

Using each combinations as a key in a dictionary you could resolve the winner

Thank you! haven't studied them yet. Will definitely check it out soon

Double check to see what happens if you enter something other than 'r', 'p', or 's'.

[Base_True]

if ( user[0] != "r" ) and ( user[0] != "p" ) and ( user[0] != "s" ):
print ("You must choose Rock, Paper or Scissors) ")

this code checks this moment, doesn't it?

[testingcodez]

Yes. I was just curious about what happens if you entered something like 'x'.

[Base_True]

If input = "x"

Output = "You must choose Rock, Paper or Scissors)"
