nnounces the winner as well the basis for determining the winner: paper covers rock, rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper, or nobody wins. be sure to allow the users to use lowercase as well uppercase letters. your program should include a loop that lets the user play again until the user says she or he is done."

The program is an illustration of conditional statements.

Conditional statements are used to execute instructions, if and only if certain condition or conditions are met.

Take for instance: If b = 5, print "ab"

The above print statement will only be executed, if the value of b is 5

The paper-rock-scissor program in Python where comments are used to explain each line is as follows,

#This imports the random module

import random

#This is used to control the repetition of the game

playagain ="T"

#The following is repeated until the user chooses not to play again

while(playagain == "T"):

#This generates a random choice for the computer

computer = random.choice(['Rock', 'Paper', 'Scissors'])

#This gets input for the player

player = input('Choose: ')

#If the player and computer choose the selection

if player == computer:

#Then, it's a tie

print('A tie - Both players chose '+player)

#If the player wins

elif (player.lower() == "Rock".lower() and computer.lower() == "Scissors".lower()) or (player.lower() == "Paper".lower() and computer.lower() == "Rock".lower()) or (player == "Scissors" and computer.lower() == "Paper".lower()):

#This prints "player won" and the reason

print('Player won! '+player +' beats '+computer)

#If otherwise,

else:

#This prints "computer won" and the reason

print('Computer won! '+computer+' beats '+player)

#This asks if the player wants to play again

playagain = input("Play again? T/F: ")
