Welcome to the forum :wave:

What error? Often the error will contain a clue to the solution.

3

It keeps on say " Your showResults function should update the roundResultsMsg with the result of the round." but I have no clue what that means

4

That’s not true because you’ve implemented it perfectly.

There is a problem though. You are updating the displayed score and then calling the getroundresults function.

What is in the getRoundResults(userOption) function? What does it do?

5

well it takes a parameter (userOption) then returns depending on the result of the game, it returns with string ouput

6

Does it update any global variables?

7

Yes it does, But shouldnt it as the return value?

8

consider what global variables it is updating, are they involved in the function tou are writing now?

9

I’m sorry I don’t understand your question, can you rephrase it?

Which global variables does it update?
