CS 160 - Programming Concepts and Applications

Make a copy of Lab3A's main.cpp and place it as the starting point for Lab3B.

At the end of Lab3A, our program looked like follows:

This could work, but it is somewhat cryptic. Will S beat 1? We don't know. We need to convert both players' choices into intelligble output. We'll start with the Human player first. Instead of printing back whatever the Human entered, we want to convert the single letter entered into the full word that it corresponds to.

Great! We're one third of the way there. Next, we'll decode what the Computer Player is doing. Instead of displaying 0, 1, or 2, your program should instead print Rock, Paper, or Scissors respectively. At this point, we now will know what each player has thrown:

Wonderful, almost done! Since we are good little programmers, we know that our user may not always follow instructions exactly as we state. We want to handle the situation when the user accidently types a lower case letter. Now the Human Player can enter either R or r for rock, P or p for paper, and S or s for scissors. Your program will now be:

And we're done with Part 2! On to the last part, Lab3C, to bring it all together.
