Question

Write a program that plays rock-paper-scissor game. The program randomly generates a number 0, 1, or 2 representing scissor, rock, and paper. The program prompts the user to enter a number 0,1, or 2 and displays a message indicating whether the user or the computer wins, loses, or draws. Here is my code for this program.

However, I need to add a loop to allow the user to play until either the Human or the Computer has won 3 times in a row. How would I go about doing this? Using NetBeans 8.1 JAVA.

package problem;
import java.util.*;
public class problem_1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); // Create scanner object
String result = "", symbolA = "", symbolB = "";
System.out.print("Scissor (0), rock (1), paper (2): "); // Prompt user to enter value
int choice = input.nextInt(); // Assign users value to integer choice
int pick = (int)(Math.random()*3); // Generate a random number, either 0,1, or 2
if(choice==pick)
result = "It is a draw"; // If the values equal each other, tell the user it is a draw
else
{
if(((choice==0)&&(pick==2))||((choice==1)&&(pick==0))||((choice==2)&&(pick==1)))
result = "You won"; // Tell the user if he won against the computer
else
result = "You lose"; // Tell the user if he lost against the computer
}
if (choice==0)
symbolA = "scissor";
if (pick==0)
symbolB = "scissor";
if (choice==1)
symbolA = "rock";
if (pick==1)
symbolB = "rock";
if (choice==2)
symbolA = "paper";
if (pick==2)
symbolB = "paper"; // Assign rock, paper, and scissor to the values generated

System.out.println("The computer is " + symbolB + ". You are " + symbolA + ". " + result); //Display the output

}
}

Explanation / Answer

public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
int computer, user;

System.out.print("scissor (0), rock (1), paper (2):");
user = s.nextInt();
computer = (int)(Math.random() * 3);

if(computer == 0) {
System.out.print("The computer is scissor.");
} else if(computer == 1) {
System.out.print("The computer is rock.");
} else if(computer == 2) {
   System.out.print("The computer is paper.");
}

if((user == 0 && computer == 2) || (user == 1 && computer == 0) || (user == 2 && computer == 1)) {
if(user == 0) {
System.out.print(" You are scissor. You won.");
} else if(user == 1) {
System.out.print(" You are rock. You won.");
} else if(user == 2) {
System.out.print(" You are paper. You won.");
}
} else if(user == computer) {
if(user == 0) {
System.out.print(" You are scissor too. It is a draw.");
} else if(user == 1) {
System.out.print(" You are rock too. It is a draw.");
} else if(user == 2) {
System.out.print(" You are paper too. It is a draw.");
}
} else {
if(user == 0) {
System.out.print(" You are scissor. You lose.");
} else if(user == 1) {
System.out.print(" You are rock. You lose.");
} else if(user == 2) {
System.out.print(" You are paper. You lose.");
}
}
}
