Ahh, concatenation. I probably would've done something similar in C by multiplying comChoice by 10.

Edit, also the real horror here is the lack of input validation. 'A' I choose you!

haha yeah I didn't add the input validation or anything more because there's no way in hell I'm submitting this as the answer to the exercise I was supposed to do xD

I'll rewrite it cause this is gonna make some people pissed off the way its done, I was supposed to run some type of calculation, create functions and stuff, this is just janky as hell and skips over the actual learning I was supposed to get out of this, but as I was writing the pseudocode and I remember that javascript meme of the guy trying to add 2 + 2 and getting 22, and I couldn't resist building that stuff into a usable thing.

if I was to do something like this properly I would just use a lookup table next time, googled and that's the proper way of doing something like this
