HI All,
I am having a little difficulties here.
Here is my requirements:
Play the game of paper-rock-scissors. In main ask the user how many hands he/she wants to play. This must be an odd number, so you must validate this input to make sure the number is odd!
After each play, write a message stating who won the play like this:
Human won the play: paper beats rock
Computer won the play: scissors beats paper
-----------------------------------------------------
After each hand ( a hand is when one player wins the majority of the odd number.) For example if a round is 5 plays, the hand ends when either the computer or the human wins 3 plays. Print a message stating whether the computer won the hand or the human won the hand and print the current record like this:
Human: 3 wins Computer: 2 wins
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
char readAndValidateUserMove() //Function to read in 1,2, & 3. which stands for rock, paper, & scissor.
{
char result; //Declare variable for function
do {
cin >> result; // Get input from user
if (result == '1' || result == '2' || result == '3') //If user chooses 1, 2, or 3 it will show.
return tolower(result); //Make it easier, converting uppercase letter to lower case.
} while (true); // If user gets the correct input, this will stay with the return statement.
}
char generateCompMove() //Declare variable for generating random number
{
return 48 + rand() % 3 + 1; //Generate number 1-3
}
int CompareMoves(char humanMove, char computersMove) //These variables will compare both moves from human and computer.
{
if (humanMove == computersMove) //This will determine both player's move.
return '2';
else if (humanMove == '1')

return 0;

} while(tolower(choice) == 'y'); //To covert uppercase to lowercase.

if(choice == 'n')
{
cout << "\n{Thank you for playing, hope you enjoy!" << endl << "\tGoodbye!}"<<endl<<endl;
}
return 0;
}That is my code. I can not get the last part where they ask how many hands have won. I believe I would have to use a "while" loop but I don't know where to put it at. Please help!
