so please bear with me - I am a beginner
It seems then that there is no way (why should I be surprised haha) that I can 'insist' that black is white for the purposes of the function or the individual script. Correct?
What I'm saying is that I now understand that
Perhaps my aim for the game was illogical and unachievable insofar as I wasn't asking it to evaluate whether
"Paper is greater than rock" rather than
"is paper greater than rock: answer no"
Have I understood this correctly? If so, it means I cannot do what I hoped to because it's illogical or contrary?

What I'm saying is that I now understand that
return x > y
simply evaluates the expression and gives me a True/False. It doesn't 'force' x
to be greater than y
, it simply examines its truth?Perhaps my aim for the game was illogical and unachievable insofar as I wasn't asking it to evaluate whether
rock > paper
as its internal value but was trying to 'insist' that paper > rock
- if you'll excuse the semantics this was to say:"Paper is greater than rock" rather than
"is paper greater than rock: answer no"
