    Exclamation making a return for a game

    I have this dilema
    • Players simultaneously choose a move: ‘c’ or ‘d’
    • If both choose ‘c’, they get $3 each
    • If both choose ‘d’, they get $1 each
    • If one chooses ‘c’ and one chooses ‘d’, the ‘d’ player gets $5 and the ‘c’
    player gets nothing

    I need to input it into
    public static int getScore(char firstPlayerMove, char secondPlayerMove )
        {
     
    		return 0;

    this will get the scores when replacing 0.

    is this the right start? and how do I input the rest. Pretty stuck

    It looks like the method is missing a closing curly brace.

    Write down a series of steps you would take if you was going to track the game on paper.
    With these steps you can guide yourself in the code you write.

    The instructions for your assignment make a great outline for the steps to take to solve the problem (play the game).

    I know its missing, its just the part of the code I dont know what to put in it. like How do I get it to score each player with those numbers. As I said, even when writing down I have no clue

    You have to think about how you would solve the problem yourself. You are the "game". Two people pick a letter at the same time. How do you decide how much to pay?
    You have to tell the computer to do the same process one step at a time.
    Where is your list of steps to solve the problem?
