And this is one of the advantages that you get of writing unit tests for your code. When you change the source code, you run your unit tests, which expect a given output assuming a given input, and if the unit tests fail, chances are there's a bug in your source code. So what I'm going to do is run these as unit tests, and when I hit the Run button, I'm seeing there's a failure on this assertion. You might need to scroll around in the console to find that, but I'm seeing it's on this line, where the winner is checking against rock, and then paper being equal to computer.
