Rock Paper Scissors project; issue with scissors and bomb

Language Help JavaScript
1

So I am having an issue with my code for the rock paper scissors project. When the user chooses ‘scissors’ and the computer chooses anything but scissors, I get an error saying:

/home/ccuser/workspace/javascript_101_Unit_3_v2/rockPaperScissors.js:40
  if(userchoice === 'scissors') {
     ^

I also get this same error when the user chooses ‘bomb’

Here is my code below:

const getUserChoice  = userInput => {
  userInput = userInput.toLowerCase();
  if (userInput === 'rock' || userInput === 'scissors' || userInput === 'paper' || userInput === 'bomb') {
    return userInput
  } else {
    console.log('Error, you must choose rock paper or scissors');
    }
  };

const getComputerChoice = () => {
  const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 3);
  switch (randomNumber) {
    case 0:
      return 'rock';
    case 1:
      return 'paper';
    case 2:
      return 'scissors'
  }
};

const determineWinner = (userChoice, computerChoice) => {
  if(userChoice === computerChoice) {
    return 'This game is a tie';
  }
  if(userChoice === 'rock') {
    if(computerChoice === 'paper') {
      return "Sorry, the computer won!";
    } else {
      return "Congrats! You won!"
    }
  }
  if(userChoice === 'paper') {
    if(computerChoice === 'scissors') {
      return "Sorry, the computer won!";
    } else {
      return "Congrats! You won!";
    }
  }
  if(userchoice === 'scissors') {
    if(computerChoice === 'rock') {
      return "Sorry, the computer won!";
    } else {
      return "Congrats, you won!";
    }
  }
if(userChoice  === 'bomb') {
  return "Congrats! You won";
  }
};

const playGame = () => {
  const userChoice = getUserChoice('bomb');
  const computerChoice = getComputerChoice();
  console.log('You threw: ' + userChoice);
  console.log('The computer threw: ' + computerChoice);
  console.log(determineWinner(userChoice, computerChoice));
};
 
playGame();

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you :smile:

Looks like a simple typo on what should be a camelCase variable name.

The error message shows that this error is on line 40.
