I think I agree more with bob on this one - he wasn't saying functions weren't
important, just that they weren't important to this case. Sure polymorphism and
inheritance and properties and generators and list comprehensions are awesome
and useful, but I wouldn't suggest they are necessary for e

Well I disagree. I was trying to steer the OP to get
Hi Jason,
Let's see if we can clean up some of your program. You had this
function:

Let's write this in plain English.

I could give lots of diagnostic advice and detail. There is so much
wrong with this program.
I suggest you discard it, back up and start with the si

You're not telling us what the errors are. If you'd like us help to debug your
program, best is to provide information about how you run it, and what output
you're getting. Not just the progr
Can anyone tell me how to fix the errors I am getting if possible? I'm quite
new and so confused...
also how do I display the winner under the displayInfo function?

while endProgram == 'no':
