Thread: rock, paper, scissors game: logical operators & switch statements

i'm writing a simple program for the game rock, paper, scissors.

would i use an if statement or a switch statement to store both r and R as rock?

Well one alternative for translating the user input into a value within a variable would be to use a switch statement with 'r', 'R', 'p', 'P', 's', and 'S' as the cases. If doing that then a switch statement would be preferable to six if-statements.

However, you could also convert the input to uppercase first and then you only have three cases to deal with.
