Get the Number of Rounds

What we have

We have set up a function to print the introduction of the game. This is our inventory of already created functions:

// Function to display game introduction and rules
void displayIntroductionAndRules() {
    cout << "Welcome to Rock-Paper-Scissors game!\n" << endl;
    cout << "The rules of the game are simple:" << endl;
    cout << "1. Rock beats scissors" << endl;
    cout << "2. Scissors beats paper" << endl;
    cout << "3. Paper beats rock" << endl;
}

The next step is to ask the user about the number of rounds. This specifies how many times our game will run.

What now?

We need to create a function that asks users to input the total number of rounds they want to play and store it in a variable. These are the steps we need to perform in this task:

• Prompt the user.
• Take the input and store it in a variable.
• Return the variable.
