Why does the .capitalize method don't work here?

Question

Here is my code in python This is the whole program in gist.

import random
    list= [ "Rock", "Paper", "Scissors" ]
    my_decision = random.choice(list)
    while True:
        game = input("Let's play Rock-Paper-Scissors Game! Please enter your decision: ")
        game.capitalize()

this method don't work. When i enter rock or paper or scissors, it just failed to capitalize the first letter.

You can use .title():

game = game.title()
print(game)

If you put "rock" it'll print out "Rock", and if you put in "two words", the script above will print out "Two Words".

The method works fine here. You just aren't assigning it's result to game.

while True:
    game = input("Let's play Rock-Paper-Scissors Game! Please enter your decision: ")
    game = game.capitalize() # You need to assign to `game`

But more importantly while True is a infinite loop. Unless there is more code that you aren't showing. If not ensure you add break to exit the loop when you want.

Yup. This is only part of my program. You can access the whole code in the link provided in the post above :). But, why if i don't assign it to `game`, it can't work? Thanks for helping. – Evelyn lau Feb 01 '18 at 05:43
