This course will guide you through JavaScript programming essentials by leveraging your existing Python knowledge. It highlights the similarities and differences between JavaScript and Python and covers program structure, built-in data types, variables, operators, arithmetic expressions, user-defined functions, and libraries.

You’ll dive into OOP concepts on classes and objects, control flow statements, and collections (arrays, lists, maps) alongside loops. You’ll also explore commonly used libraries in JavaScript. In the culminating project, you’ll apply your skills by developing a classic Rock Paper Scissors game where one player is the computer. 

After completing the course, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of JavaScript, enabling you to transition smoothly from Python while building robust, real-world applications.

JavaScript for Python Programmers

// Function to display game instructions
function displayInstructions(){
    console.log('Welcome to Rock Paper Scissors.\n');
    console.log('The rules are simple:');
    console.log('1. Rock beats scissors');
    console.log('2. Scissors beat paper');
    console.log('3. Paper beats rock');
}

// Function to contain the flow of the whole program
function main(){
    displayInstructions();
    // Call for the function that takes input and storing its output
    const rounds = getRounds();
}


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

# What’s next?

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:

- Take the input from the user and store it in a variable.
- Converting the input string to an integer.
- Return the variable.

> **Note:** You may assume the user will only provide a number when prompted.
