Question

Can anyone figure out where I am going wrong?
player1 = raw_input ("Player 1 ?")
player2 = raw_input ("Player 2 ?")

if (player1 == 'rock' and player2 == 'scissors'):
print "Player 1 wins."

elif (player1 == 'rock' and player2 == 'rock'):
print "Tie"

elif (player1 == 'scissors' and player2 == 'paper'):
print "Player 1 wins."

elif (player2 == 'scissors' and player2 == 'scissors'):
print "Tie"

elif (player1 == 'paper' and player2 == 'paper'):
print "Tie"

elif (player1 == 'paper' and player2 == 'scissors'):
print "Player 2 wins."

elif (player1 == 'roc

Answer 1

Sorry this is the actual code
player1 = raw_input ("Player 1 ?")
player2 = raw_input ("Player 2 ?")

if (player1 == 'rock' and player2 == 'scissors'):
print "Player 1 wins."

elif (player1 == 'rock' and player2 == 'rock'):
print "Tie"

elif (player1 == 'scissors' and player2 == 'paper'):
print "Player 1 wins."

elif (player2 == 'scissors' and player2 == 'scissors'):
print "Tie"

elif (player1 == 'paper' and player2 == 'paper'):
print "Tie"

elif (player1 == 'paper' and player2 == 'scissors'):
print "Player 2 wins."

elif (player1 == 'rock'and player2 == 'paper'):
print "Player 2 wins."

elif (player1 == 'paper' and player2 == 'rock'):
print "Player 2 wins."

elif (player1 == 'scissors' and player2 == 'rock'):
print "Player 2 wins."
else:
print "This is not a valid object selection."

Answer 2

What is happening?

Answer 3

When I run the code and type in an input for player1 and player2.....no matter what the answers are, it always go straight to the else statement and prints "This is not a valid object selection."

Hope this info helps. Thanks for the assistance!

Answer 4

I ran it and it worked.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

try putting in 'rock' and 'rock' as inputs

Answer 8

typos while you input may cause that such as Paper and paper etc.

Answer 9

you should type paper exactly as in the logical comparison

Answer 10

add the lower function to your input

```
player1 = raw_input("Player 1? ").lower()
player2 = raw_input("Player 2? ").lower()
```
this insures that your input is all lowercase since thats what you're using to test in your if statements. So if you entered Rock then it would change it to rock and then do comparisons on it.
