So when you do paper or scissors, it says "Scissors. You Win!" But I didn't even put that on the lists.

Could someone help me with this problem?

Thanks!

Your IF statements may not be evaluating properly:


if player == 'Rock' or 'rock':
elif player == 'Scissors' or 'scissors':
elif player == 'Paper' or 'paper':

Try changing them to look like this:


if player == 'Rock' or player == 'rock':
elif player == 'Scissors' or player == 'scissors':
elif player == 'Paper' or player == 'paper':

Alternatively, you could just change your input line to convert the string to lowercase and get rid of the OR conditions inside your IF statements:


player = input("Player: ").lower()

Thanks! I needed that!
