idk why i'm getting this error but its first time that i tried to use a module i don't think switch case causing the error

ero•2y ago

it is the case causing te error

Ryan-T1412OP•2y ago

i have no idea string botChoice = cards.Shuffle(random).First(); maybe this

Susko3•2y ago

hint: don't use a switch-case in this scenario as the string isn't a compile-time constant

Ryan-T1412OP•2y ago

so i can not use switch-case with strings

ero•2y ago

yes you can

Ryan-T1412OP•2y ago

or dictionary

ero•2y ago

but only when they're constant

ok i replaced switch-case with if else statement

    if (winningSituations[userChoice] == botChoice)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("You Won the Round!");
    }else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("You Lost the Round!");
    }

    if (winningSituations[userChoice] == botChoice)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("You Won the Round!");
    }else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("You Lost the Round!");
    }

now it works !close
