Question: About papper, rock and sissors?

[correlcj]

Hello this is what i have so far and i am trying to rewite the program so that messages like the following arte printed:

You chose paper and I chose rock. You win.
So how would i go about doing this, it may be simple but i have not seen it yey so can anyone help me, please?

#include "p_r_s.h"

void report(outcome result, int *win_cnt_ptr,
int *lose_cnt_ptr, int *tie_cnt_ptr)
{
switch (result) {
case win:
++*win_cnt_ptr;
printf("%27sYou win.\n", "");
break;
case loose:
++*loose_cnt_ptr;
printf("%27sYou loose.\n", "");
break;
case tie:
++*tie_cnt_ptr;
printf("%27sYou tie.\n", "");
break;
default:
printf("PROGRAMMER ERROR: Unexpected result!\n\n");
exit(1);
}
}

Could you please use code tags,

[X]
/* put code here */
[/X]

Just replace the 'X' with the word "CODE", it's that simple.

I am curoius, why?
whats the big deal?

If you use code tags, then your code will be neat.

Eg.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codeTags.h>

void clarify()
{
        printf("You can read this code easily, right?");
}

int main()
{
       clarify();  
       return 0;
}

No Problemo!
I will do it from now on BIG DOG in the HOUSE!
RUFF! RUFF!!
Peace out!

Here's a solution:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void function(int* rnd, char* choice)
{
	*rnd = rand()%3+1;
	switch(*rnd)
	{
		case 1: strcpy(choice, "Paper");break;
		case 2: strcpy(choice, "Rock");break;
		case 3: strcpy(choice, "Scissors");break;
	}
}

int calculate(int p1,int p2)
{
	if(p2==p1)
		return 0;
	if(p2 > p1)
	{
		if( (p2 - p1) == 1 )
			return -1;
		return 1;
	}
	if( (p1 - p2) == 1 )
		return 1;
	return -1;
}

int main()
{
	int  player1, player2;
	char p1Choice[9], p2Choice[9];
	srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
	function(&player1,p1Choice);
	function(&player2,p2Choice);
	
	printf("Player one chose %s", p1Choice);
	printf("\nPlayer two chose %s", p2Choice);

	if(calculate(player1,player2) == 0)
		printf("\nIt's a tie!!", player1);
	else if(calculate(player1,player2) == 1)
		printf("\nPlayer 2 wins!!", player1);
	else 
		printf("\nPlayer 1 wins!!", player1);
	
	return 0;
}

>So how would i go about doing this
Perhaps if you maintain three strings, one for each option, and only use those in the output. For example:

char *option[] = {
  "Paper",
  "Rock",
  "Scissors",
};

<snip>

POne = option[i];
PTwo = option[j];

<snip>

printf ( "You chose %s and I chose %s. ", POne, PTwo );
switch ( result ) {
case WIN:  printf ( "You lose.\n" ); break;
case LOSE: printf ( "You win.\n" ); break;
case TIE:  printf ( "You tie.\n" ); break;
default:
  perror ( "Say what?" );
}
