My homework assignment is to make a console based rock paper scissors game. Here are the instructions:

• You have to be able to play multiple rounds against the computer; the first side (player or computer) to win two more rounds than their opponent is considered the victor! (Think tennis)

  • E.g. If the computer has won 5 rounds, the user needs to win 7 times to win the game.

• After a winner is decided, user is asked if they want to play again, if not the program ends

We also get extra credit if we add Lizard and Spock as options in the game. My question is how do I get it to display the results of the game? I need the game to end after either the user or the computer has won by 2. I used an if statement to say if the user has won or lost, but that part is not printing. I have bolded the part of the code that I am having trouble with. Thanks!

This is the part I am having trouble with. This bolded part will not execute for some reason.

//Display the results of the game using another if-else statement

if (playerWins + 2 == computerWins) {

System.out.println("You have lost! Nice try!");

}

if (computerWins + 2 == playerWins) {

System.out.println("You have won! Congrats!");

}

//ask the player if they would like to play again

System.out.println("Would you like to play again? Enter 1 for yes and 2 for no.");

playAgain = input.nextInt();

if (playAgain == 1) {

System.out.println("Let's play again!");

continue;

}

else {

System.out.println("Thanks for playing! Goodbye!");

break;
