Yeah, I agree with Randy. Adding on to that…

let choice = prompt("Rock, Paper, or Scissors")
 
const yourTurn = () => {
  let choose = ""
  if(choice == "cancel"){
    let choose = "nothing"
    return(choose)
  }
  if(choice == "Rock" || "Paper" || "Scissors"){
    choice = choice.toLowerCase();
    return(choice)
  }
}

Is that where the prompt should be? I would expect it to be inside the function so it gets run each time.

This here:

  if(player == "rock"){
    if(bot == "paper"){
     alert("You chose " + player +  " and computer chose " + bot + ". Therefore you lose this round")
       computerScore += 1;
    }
    if(bot == "scissors"){
     alert("You chose " + player +  " and computer chose " + bot + ".  Therefore you win this round")
       playerScore += 1;
    }
  }
  if(player == "paper"){
    if(bot == "scissors"){
      alert("You chose " + player +  " and computer chose " + bot + ". Therefore you lose this round")
      computerScore += 1;
    }
    if(bot == "rock"){
      alert("You chose " + player +  " and computer chose " + bot + ".  Therefore you win this round")
      playerScore += 1;
    }
  }
  if(player == "scissors"){
    if(bot == "rock"){
      alert("You chose " + player +  " and computer chose " + bot + ". Therefore you lose this round")
      computerScore += 1;
    }
    if(bot == "paper"){
      alert("You chose " + player +  " and computer chose " + bot + ".  Therefore you win this round")
      playerScore += 1;
    }
  }

Those are all doing the exact same thing. I feel like these could be simplified a great deal. Really this should all just be an else of the previous if and this could probably all be completed with an if/else of its own. But maybe you want to leave this as is if you don’t want to get bogged down optimizing this - it just caught my eye.

while(playerScore <= 2 || computerScore <= 2){

Is that the right logic?

Your instructions say:

  1. Write a function, findResult(), which takes in the player choice and computer choice and returns “win”, “lose”, or “tie” based on the user’s results.

That’s not what it’s doing right now.
