Thread: Rock Paper Scissors issue

As usual i've waited until the last minute to work on this and now i'm stuck.
I'm not sure what is causing the error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS i'm not very Java savvy so maybe dumb down the explanations a little?

thanks

Okay! I'm sorry. Post has been edited.

I understand the what you're saying but I am hitting a wall as to what I need to do .
Do I need to Parse the integer back to a string?

Thanks for all the help.
Finally got it figured out.
Sorry for being so dense.
