Rock Paper Scissors fun-ction

Apr 23rd, 2007
Hello everyone, I am having trouble fine tuning my code. I like to have all the bulky parts of my main in functions, and I can not seem to figure out how to write this code as a function. Anyone tell me where to start?

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. int main()
  2. {
  3.   int player = 0;
  4.   int computer = 0;
  5.   int tie = 0;
  6.   do {
  7.     char userChoice;
  8.     char compChoice;
  9.     compChoice = getCompChoice();
  10.     userChoice = getUserChoice();
  11.  
  12.     cout << "User picked: " << userChoice << endl;
  13.     cout << "Computer picked: " << compChoice << endl;
  14.  
  15.  
  16.     if (compChoice == userChoice) {
  17.       cout << "It's a tie.\n";
  18.       tie += 1;
  19.     } else if ((compChoice == 'R') && (userChoice == 'S')) {
  20.       cout << "Rock smashes scissors. You Lose.\n";
  21.       computer += 1;
  22.     } else if ((compChoice == 'P') && (userChoice == 'R')) {
  23.       cout << "Paper covors rock. You Lose.\n";
  24.       computer += 1;
  25.     } else if ((compChoice == 'S') && (userChoice == 'P')) {
  26.       cout << "Scissors cut paper. You Lose.\n";
  27.       computer += 1;
  28.     } else if ((compChoice == 'R') && (userChoice == 'P')) {
  29.       cout << "Paper covors rock. You Win.\n";
  30.       player += 1;
  31.     } else if ((compChoice == 'P') && (userChoice == 'S')) {
  32.       cout << "Scissors cut paper. You Win.\n";
  33.       player += 1;
  34.     } else if ((compChoice == 'S') && (userChoice == 'R')) {
  35.       cout << "Rock smashes scissors. You Win.\n";
  36.       player += 1;
  37.     }
  38.     cout << "User: " << player << endl
  39.          << "Computer: " << computer << endl
  40.          << "Ties: " << tie << endl;
  41.   } while (doItAgain());
  42.   return (0);
  43. }
Thats my main this is the code I would like to be a function.

  9.       computer += 1;

  12.       computer += 1;

  23.       cout << "Rock smashes scissors. You Win.\n";
  24.       player += 1;
  25.     }

create the function and pass the three variables (tie, player and computer) by reference to it.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

ok that is what I was wondering. But is it pssible to pass chars and int&

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. char result(char compChoice, char userChoice, int& player, int& computer, int& tie) {
  2.  
  3.   if (compChoice == userChoice) {
  4.     tie += 1;
  5.     return ("It's a tie.\n")
  6.   } else if ((compChoice == 'R') && (userChoice == 'S')) {
  7.     computer += 1;
  8.     return ("Rock smashes scissors. You Lose.\n")
  9.   } else if ((compChoice == 'P') && (userChoice == 'R')) {
  10.     computer += 1;
  11.     return ("Paper covors rock. You Lose.\n")
  12.   } else if ((compChoice == 'S') && (userChoice == 'P')) {
  13.     computer += 1;
  14.     return ("Scissors cut paper. You Lose.\n")
  15.   } else if ((compChoice == 'R') && (userChoice == 'P')) {
  16.     player += 1;
  17.     return ("Paper covors rock. You Win.\n")
  18.   } else if ((compChoice == 'P') && (userChoice == 'S')) {
  19.     player += 1;
  20.     return ("Scissors cut paper. You Win.\n")
  21.   } else if ((compChoice == 'S') && (userChoice == 'R')) {
  22.     player += 1;
  23.     return ("Rock smashes scissors. You Win.\n")
  24.   }
  25. }

I am honestly not trying to get you to write my code, just a lil help where to go from here.

looks ok to me except the function should return char* not char. See lines 13 and 14 below.

The rest is simple
c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. int main()
  2. {
  3.   int player = 0;
  4.   int computer = 0;
  5.   int tie = 0;
  6.   do {
  7.     char userChoice;
  8.     char compChoice;
  9.     const char* msg;
  10.     compChoice = getCompChoice();
  11.     userChoice = getUserChoice();
  12.  
  13.     msg = result(compChoice, userChoice, player, computer, tie);
  14.     cout << msg << "\n";
  15.  
  16.     cout << "User picked: " << userChoice << endl;
  17.     cout << "Computer picked: " << compChoice << endl;
  18.  
  19.  
  20.     cout << "User: " << player << endl
  21.          << "Computer: " << computer << endl
  22.          << "Ties: " << tie << endl;
  23.   } while (doItAgain());
  24.   return (0);
  25. }

What does that mean? return a void not a char, does that mean it should be void result(char, char, int&, int&, int&) ?

Please re-read my post -- I realized void was not right and made appropriate correction. Sorry if I confused you.

It is much better if you use a switch rather that if statement.
