    Default rock paper scissors program giving wrong results

    Here is my code:

    import java.util.*;

    class rps{
    public static void main(String args[]){
    Random number = new Random();
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    // player chooses
    String choice;

    System.out.println("Enter your throw (rock, paper, scissors)(enter exactly as shown): ");

    choice = input.nextLine();

    System.out.println("The player throws "+choice);

    // computer chooses
    int integer;
    String computerinput;
    integer = 1+number.nextInt(3);
    if(integer == 1){
    computerinput = "rock";
    }else if(integer == 2){
    computerinput = "paper";
    }else{
    computerinput = "scissors";
    }

    String message = "The computer throws "+ computerinput;
    System.out.println(message);

    // determining winner...
    boolean isTie = computerinput.equals(choice);
    boolean isWin = (computerinput.equals("rock") && choice.equals("scissor")) ||
    (computerinput.equals("paper") && choice.equals("rock")) ||
    (computerinput.equals("scissor") && choice.equals("paper"));

    //message
    if (isWin){
    message += ". Computer Won.";
    }else if (isTie){
    message += " too. It is a Tie";
    }else{
    message += ". You Won";
    }

    System.out.print("\n"+message);


    }
    }

    Output:

    Enter your throw (rock, paper, scissors)(enter exactly as shown):
    paper
    The player throws paper
    The computer throws scissors

    The computer throws scissors. You Won

    It should have said "Computer won." not "You won".

    You need to check your logic when assigning to the isWin boolean. Also who does the isWin boolean apply to, the AI or the human?

    the isWin boolean is simply a variable that stores all the possible ways to win the game

    nvm I found my problem.

    You should post your solution so others can learn from it. So there is no need to delete the thread (even if you could).
