Problem with Basic Rock Paper Scissors code

[ichabod801]

You just use integer literals (without quotes) instead of string literals (with quotes):

        cpu = randint(1, 3)
 
        ai = cpu
 
        if cpu == 1:
            ai = "r"
 
        elif cpu == 2:
            ai = "p"
 
        elif cpu == 3:
            ai = "s"

But, note that random.choice will pick a random item out of a sequence, even a string. So all of the above code could be replaced with this one line:

ai = random.choice('rps')
