[Tutor] Paper Rock Scissors game - User's choice not returned properly

[Prasad, Ramit]

Just a minor note, this break is redundant. Breaks are used to exit (for/while) loops but keep control in the function. A return exits the function immediately. 

        if choice.lower() in ('p', 'r','s'):    # Converts the user's choice to lowercase and confirms the choice is valid
            return choice
            break


There is also a "continue" which is similar to a break, but instead of exiting the loop, it will start the loop code over for the next value (thus "continuing" the loop).

>>> t = [ 'not this', 'do this', 'not this either', 'most definitely do this' ]
>>> for string in t:
...     if string.startswith( 'not' ):
...         continue # I want to keep working with the other elements in the list
...     print string
...     
do this
most definitely do this
>>> for string in t:
...     if string.startswith( 'not' ):
...         break # I want to abort the entire loop now
...     print string
...     
>>>
