Tell us what’s happening:

Not passing test, though it seems it’s working. Are they looking for something specific? Am I thinking of this all wrong?
Test that aren’t passing:

  1. Your playRound function should return the string “You win! [player choice] beats [computer choice]” if the player wins.
  2. Your playRound function should return the string “You lose! [computer choice] beats [player choice]” if the computer wins.

hello and welcome to fcc forum :slight_smile:

  • i cant seem to see anything on screen, after entering my “choices” for each turns
  • if im not wrong, in your playHand method, you are not using “human choice/computer choice” in those return strings!!

happy coding :slight_smile:

Thank you so much! That was it. I thought they wanted us to give the players names. Instead they wanted us just to restate the choices. Again, thanks.
