Rock, Paper, Scissors Game

Write a program that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer. The program should work as follows.

  1. 1. When the program begins, a random number in the range of 1 through 3 is generated. If the number is 1, then the computer has chosen rock. If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen paper. If the number is 3, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Don’t display the computer’s choice yet.)
  2. 2. The user enters his or her choice of “rock”, “paper”, or “scissors” at the keyboard. (You can use a menu if you prefer.)
  3. 3. The computer’s choice is displayed.
  4. 4. A winner is selected according to the following rules:
    • If one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, then rock wins. (The rock smashes the scissors.)
    • If one player chooses scissors and the other player chooses paper, then scissors wins. (Scissors cuts paper.)
    • If one player chooses paper and the other player chooses rock, then paper wins. (Paper wraps rock.)
    • If both players make the same choice, the game must be played again to determine the winner.

Be sure to divide the program into methods that perform each major task.

Slot Machine Simulation- I need to get answer in Pseudocode A slot machine is a gambling device that the user inserts money into and then pulls a lever (or presses a button). The slot machine then displays a set of random images. If two or more of the images match, the user wins an amount of money, which the slot machine dispenses back to the user. Design a program that simulates a slot machine. When the program runs, it should do the following: Ask the user to enter the amount of money he or she wants to insert into the slot machine. Instead of displaying images, the program will randomly select a word from the following list: Cherries, Oranges, Plums, Bells, Melons, Bars The program will select and display a word from this list three times. If none of the randomly selected words match, the program will inform the user that he or she has won $0. If two of the words match, the program will inform the user that he or she has won two times the amount entered. If three of the words…
