4.5 Show the Correct Choice

The program is now printing both possible outcomes.

Let’s change it to display only the correct message depending on the player’s choice.

We need to run only one of the statements, either the player chose odds and computer gets evens, or the other way around.

We can use an if-else statement to select which statements to run.

_{🎓 Learn}

• 💡 If-Else Statement.
• ⚡ Write an If-Else Statement

In this specific case, it should be something like:

_{🤖 Pseudocode}

if player side equals 1
    player chose odds and computer gets evens
else 
    player chose evens and computer gets odds

To create the if-else condition, we need to compare the player side with the number 1.

• 💡 Comparison.
• ⚡ Make a Comparison.

✅ What to Do

• Write an if-else statement with a condition that compares the playerSide value with 1.
• Move the print instructions to the corresponding code block.
• Run the program.
