I am building a rock, paper, scissors project which is supposed to take 5 rounds. The user will get a prompt and input either "rock", "paper", or "scissors". When I write the code like this:
let playerSelection = prompt("Rock, paper ou scissors?").toLowerCase();
let game = function() {
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
compare(playerSelection, computerPlay);
if (compare === "You win!") {
playerScore++;
}
else if (compare === "You lose!") {
computerScore++;
}
else if (compare === "It's a tie!") {
}
}
}
The prompt is prompted and I get to input something, however it only happens once and the loop doesn't work. When I put the prompt inside the loop, like this:
let game = function() {
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
let playerSelection = prompt("Rock, paper ou scissors?").toLowerCase();
compare(playerSelection, computerPlay);
if (compare === "You win!") {
playerScore++;
}
else if (compare === "You lose!") {
computerScore++;
}
else if (compare === "It's a tie!") {
}
}
}
The prompt never shows up! How can I solve this and make it prompt 5 times?
I think there is some error in your compare function. checkout the snippet below its working fine.
const compare = function(playerSelection, computerPlay) {
// write your logic here
return "You win!";
}
let game = function() {
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
let playerSelection = prompt("Rock, paper ou scissors?").toLowerCase();
const outputs = ["rock", "paper", "scissor"];
compare(playerSelection, Math.floor(Math.random()*3));
if (compare === "You win!") {
playerScore++;
}
else if (compare === "You lose!") {
computerScore++;
}
else if (compare === "It's a tie!") {
}
}
}
game();Well you are not calling the function. use
game();
after function definition
