Rock, paper scissor game

[katnisseverdeen]

I have most of my code done but i can't figure out how to put in the follwing:

Please enter the number of rounds you would like to play: 2
Sorry, you need to enter an odd number. Please try again: 3
Rock, Paper, or Scissors?: Monkey
Sorry, “Monkey” is not a valid entry.

I know the rest need help with this?

Please first show us your attempt to solve this.

Please show me where in my post I accused you of this. I do feel strongly though that we need to see your attempt else we have no idea what you do or don't understand. Also, you need to ask more specific questions -- just what confuses you. All we've seen is your code requirement but we have no inkling as to what's hanging you up. Also, the more you attempt, whether it succeeds or nor, the more you will learn.

Luck.

did that work?

[Fubarable]

There are lots of problems in the code above, but the major one is that a char can only be that, a single char.

So this won't work:

if (userChoice != 'rock') {

but this will:

if (userChoice != 'r') {

See the difference?

Also when we see many many errors in a class, it suggests that you're not compiling often enough. You should only add a little bit of code at a time, such as one line at a time, and then compile. If there are any compilation errors, you should fix the errors before trying to add any more code.
