Program 1

An elegant solution that simply replicates the code for each round. We hadn't seen the while loop yet, so this was perfectly acceptable. The code is well organized and easy to scan/read.

# This program allow users to play a more advanced version of
# "ROCK/PAPER/SCISSORS/MUG" by adding a MUG option. The rules are "Scissors fall in mug, and mug wins
#  Paper blocks mug, and paper wins,Rock breaks mug, and rock wins". This program
#  will let the user play three rounds and keep track of the score. In the end, it
#  will declare the winner.

#Initialized the computerscore and humanscore
computerScore = 0
humanScore = 0
