Thread: rock paper Scissors

i'm supposed to do a rock paper scissors program for my class and here's how my teacher wants it to look like.

Your choice: R)ock, S)cissors, P)aper, or Q)uit: x
Please enter R for rock, S for scissors, P for paper, or Q to quit: s
Computer chose Paper - you win.

Your choice: R)ock, S)cissors, P)aper, or Q)uit: p
Computer chose Scissors - you lose.

Your choice: R)ock, S)cissors, P)aper, or Q)uit: R
Computer chose Rock - it's a draw.

Your choice: R)ock, S)cissors, P)aper, or Q)uit: R
Computer chose Scissors - you win.

Your choice: R)ock, S)cissors, P)aper, or Q)uit: Q

Your wins: 2
Computer's wins: 1
Number of draws: 1

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
// These includes let us work with vectors:
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

// This include lets us read and write files:
#include <fstream>

	This is a global type -- it is defined outside
	of a function, so it is available to *all* functions

	// declare variables
	giveDirections( )
	
	playerChoice = getPlayerInput( )
	while (playerChoice != 'Q')
	{

		winner = determineWinner( playerChoice,
			computerChoice );
	
		if (winner == PLAYER)
		{
			playerWins++;
			display congratulations
		}
		else if (winner == COMPUTER)
		{
			computerWins++;
			cout <<  "Sorry you lost this one" << endl;
		}
		else

			draws++;
		}
		totalGames++;
		player makes choice again
	}
	display playerWins
	display computerWins
	display draws

Sounds good to me. If you actually have a question, I suppose you could ask.

Yes, and your question is ... ?

Ha thats sad... its practically handed to you. Perhaps the question you should ask is: Why am I taking this class?
