Hands-On Example 2.3B Hands-On Example 2.3B Review an Algorithm A The algorithm to o play Rock-Paper-Scissors is writ tt en out in Figure 2-8. The algorithm should be tested and d reviewed. Find a person to be th he second player to evaluate the algorithm. 1 Choose what ob bj ect you will play: rock, paper, or r scissors. 2 Agree with second o player that it is time to play. 3 Count to three. 4 Immediately bo ot h players “throw.” 5 Evaluate the outcome: Player 1 Player 1 Player 2 Player 2 Outcome Outcome Result Result You throw rock.
