java rock paper scissors code!!!

So I managed to get some code going, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the if comparisons to work. It stores their inputs, and if it's a tie, it works. But for anything different it doesn't seem to work. How can I compare their inputs?

Code:

---

import java.util.Scanner;
public class RockPaperScissors4 {
public static void main (String [] args){
Scanner cool = new Scanner(System.in);
String player1;
char player1choice;
String player2;
char player2choice;
System.out.println("Hello Player 1, what is your name?");
player1 = cool.next();

System.out.println(player1 + ", please enter your choice (R for rock, P for paper or S for scissors): ");
player1choice = cool.next().charAt(0);

        while(player1choice !='R' && player1choice !='P' && player1choice !='S' && player1choice !='r' && player1choice !='p' && player1choice !='s')
        {
        System.out.println("That is an incorrect input. Please enter a legitimate response");
        player1choice = cool.next().charAt(0);
        }
       
System.out.println("Hello Player 2, what is your name?");
player2 = cool.next();

System.out.println(player2 + ", please enter your choice (R for rock, P for paper or S for scissors): ");
player2choice = cool.next().charAt(0);

        while(player2choice !='R' && player2choice !='P' && player2choice !='S' && player2choice !='r' && player2choice !='p' && player2choice !='s')
        {
        System.out.println("That is an incorrect input. Please enter a legitimate response");
        player2choice = cool.next().charAt(0);
        }
        char R = 0;
        char S = 1;
        char P = 2;
       
        if (player1choice == player2choice)
            System.out.println("Tie!");
        else if (player1choice == 0 && player2choice == 1)
            System.out.println("Rock beats scissors! You win!");
        else if (player1choice == 0 && player2choice == 2)
            System.out.println("Paper covers rock... You lose.");
        else if (player1choice == 1 && player2choice == 0)
                System.out.println("Rock beats scissors... you lose.");
        else if (player1choice == 1 && player2choice == 2)
                System.out.println("Scissors cuts paper! You win!");
        else if (player1choice == 2 && player2choice == 0)
            System.out.println("Paper covers rock! You win!");
        else if (player1choice == 2 && player2choice == 1)
            System.out.println("Scissors cuts paper... You lose.");
        else
            System.out.println();
       
       
}
}

It looks like you are comparing a char value: player1choice against an int value: 1.
The value of '1' is not equal to 1. Change your compares to be against char values, not int values

I do not understand your logic at all ... playerchoises will be Char and not an integer between 0 and 2 ... and the char R = 0; things that you are doing has no purpose , numbers can't be used as references in they way that you plan :P:

To correct this change the if statements in the end to char. Also some code is missing in the while loops.

Norm beated me to it ... have to write faster =P

Okay... I really really need a visual of how i should do this, i tried to fix it and it only made it worse !

You'll have to show us if you want help with it.

Oh, i tried a lot of things last night but i didn't save them because they didn't help. I guess i'll keep trying.

If you have questions or problems, post them.
