I want to use a int data type to make all keys other than 1.2.3 invalid for the user in a game of Rock Paper Scissors int Rock = 1; int Paper = 2; int Scissors = 3; turn = 1,2,3;
if(turn == true){ can I use a boolean to do this?

Treehouse Moderator 11,077 PointsTo answer your question you can use booleans to solve this. However, probably not like how you were thinking you'd use them.
Since you want each of your inputs to be a number representing the move you just have to do an if-if-else-else chain to make sure the user entered the correct input.
// Rock
if(turn == 1) {
// do something with rock
}
// Paper
else if(turn == 2) {
// do something with paper
}
// Scissors
else if(turn == 3) {
// do something with scissors
}
// Wrong input
else {
// The user entered something other than 1 - 3
}
However, you should provide more information about how you are going about creating this rock-paper-scissors game. That way we can figure out if this is the correct approach to solving your problem.
