  • Try removing while and upper in userinput, and better to use lower instead – alim91 Apr 30 '21 at 21:13
  • remove the world "while" from getting your user input, and then dont compare an upper case input to lowercase words. – Sayse Apr 30 '21 at 21:13
  • Most of all, you need to repeat your Python tutorials, to learn how the basic statements work. You're close, but your conflation of `while input` shows that you need another run through at least an example or two. Asking us to teach you how to write an `input` statement is out of scope. Please repeat [on topic](https://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic) and [how to ask](https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask) from the [intro tour](https://stackoverflow.com/tour). – Prune Apr 30 '21 at 21:22

I don't know why you have a random while in your input statement.

userinput = input("Rock Paper Or Scissors: ").upper()

Instead, use the above.

Also you usually call main in your

if __name__ == "__main__": 
    main()
