rock paper scissor in c#

perhaps something along these lines...

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string inputString;
          string[] rps = new string[3] {"r", "p", "s"};
           
            int randomNumber;

            Random ranNumberGenerator = new Random();
            randomNumber = ranNumberGenerator.Next(4);


            Console.Write("Enter r, p, or c");
            inputString = Console.ReadLine();
            randomNumber = +ranNumberGenerator.Next(4);

            if (rps[randomNumber].Equals(inputString))
                Console.WriteLine("Draw");
            else Console.WriteLine("Lose");

            Console.Read();

        }

Thank you,  ... I am not sure how to use
       if (rps[randomNumber].Equals(inputString))
                Console.WriteLine("Draw");
            else Console.WriteLine("Lose");

To compare each of these conditions.

/*In the game Rock Paper Scissors, two players simultaneously choose one of three options: rock, paper, or scissors.
 * If both players choose the same option, then the result is a tie. However, if they choose differently, the winner is etermined as follows:

-Rock beats scissors, because a rock can break a pair of scissors.

-Scissors beats paper, because scissors can cut paper.

- Paper bats rock, because a piece of paper can cover a rock.

Create a console-based game in which the computer randomly chooses rock, paper or scissors.
 * Let the user enter a character, 'r', 'p', or 's', each representing one of the three choices. Then, determine the winner. */

here is an implementation:-

for what it's worth - here's a Python versison

import random
win = ('rs', 'sp', 'pr')
while True:
    c = random.choice('rps')
    p = raw_input("Enter r (rock) p (paper) s (scissors) anything else to quit")
    if p in 'rps':
        print "computer chose " + c + " and you chose " + p + " - ",
        if p + c in win:  print "you win."
        elif p == c: print "draw."
        else: print "you lose."
    else: break

Thank you, still working on it but, I will get it with all of your help :0)

Here's a quick implementation:

Wow, thanks! I am going to really study this program, beautiful.... awesome!

I fail to see how the accepted solution answers the question. It only replies Draw or Lose!

You are correct @ ramrom... The correct answer was from by: Idle_MindPosted on 2012-04-07 at 19:31:12ID: 37820475

My apologies to Idle_Mind, I clicked the wrong solution for the points in error.

Hmmm...pretty sure I posted AFTER the question was CLOSED.  I had the window open for several hours before I posted...   (got busy doing other stuff)

I see the time you are correct Idle_Mind... that means you did it just because... cool. Thanks to EVERYONE for all of your help :)
