4.2 Set Up the Choice

Right now, we’re asking the player to choose playing with odds or evens. This choice determines the computer’s side and the round winner.

To be able to use the player choice in the game, we need to store it in a variable.

• 💡 Variable Declaration
• ⚡ Declare a Variable.

For now, let’s assume the player choice is always 1 (odds) and declare the variable to store it:

1. Data Type: int (Integer).
2. Name: playerSide.
3. Initial Value: 1.

✅ What to Do

• Declare an integer variable playerSide with the initial value 1.

    // Player chooses to play with odds or evens.
    GamePrint.Input("Choose 1 for Odds or 2 for Evens");
    GameInput.Number(1, 2);
++  int playerSide = 1;

GamePrint.Box("Welcome to the Odds and Evens Game!");

// Player chooses to play with odds or evens.
GamePrint.Input("Choose 1 for Odds or 2 for Evens");
GameInput.Number(1, 2);
int playerSide = 1;
