The nested if statements need braces too as they contain more than one statement.

You're calling main recusively at the end.

oh culd u show me how please like where shuld the braces go
what do u mean by im calling main recusively at the end? im just learning sorry

[Return 0]

Remember that without braces, only the first statement after the if statement will be executed. Also you need to remove return main();. int main() must return a 0. If you want to create a main game loop than enclose the if statements within a do...while() loop and ask the user if they would like to continue playing, for example:

do
{
    // if statements
} while( playAgain == 'N' );

[Return 0]

Simply put, a recursive function is a function that calls itself, which is indicated by your line return main();

[aguger1]

to do the <Y,N> option (y to continue and n to exit)
? im not getting it soo if the user say no and wants to exit how would it look

[kbw]

For example:

if (compchoice == 0)
cout << "I picked Rock ";
cout << "I win! ";

should be

if (compchoice == 0)
{
    cout << "I picked Rock ";
    cout << "I win! ";
}

At the end, simply use return 0;
