I’ve been staring at this for a couple days, reading other peoples questions and answers, and testing different things. any help would be appreciated. I can’t see the issue. I tried different bracketing to see if I had bracketed incorrectly or incompletely and changing to else if’s instead of just else
thanks for looking with me.
ok heres the error message:
/home/ccuser/workspace/javascript_101_Unit_3/Unit_3/rockPaperScissors.js:6
