title: Way to keep track of rounds during a while loop
body: <p>So I'm trying to keep track of what is played in a round by each player and who wins each round in my R/P/S program. Is there a way to do that in a, possibly, infinitely repeating loop? Here's the code</p>
  
  <pre><code>import random
  Round = 0
  Player_Score = 0
  Computer_Score = 0
  while Player_Score &lt; 5 and Computer_Score &lt; 5:
      Player_object = input("Would you like to choose R, P, or S?")
      Computer_object = random.sample("RPS", 1)[0]
      if Player_object == "R" or Player_object == "r":
          if Computer_object == "R":
               print("You have chosen " +Player_object+ " and the Computer chose " +str(Computer_object)+ ".You have tied with the Computer and neither of you have scored a point.")
          elif Computer_object == "P":
              Computer_Score += 1 
              print("You have chosen " +Player_object+ " and the Computer chose " +str(Computer_object)+ ". You have been beaten by the Computer and it has scored a point.")
          else:
              Player_Score += 1
              print("You have chosen " +Player_object+ " and the Computer chose " +str(Computer_object)+ ".You have beaten the Computer and you have scored a point.")
  
  
      if Player_object == "P" or Player_object == "p":
          if str(Computer_object) == "R":
              Player_Score += 1
              print("You have chosen " +Player_object+ " and the Computer chose " +str(Computer_object)+ ".You have beaten the Computer and you have scored a point.")
          elif str(Computer_object) == "P":
             print("You have chosen " +Player_object+ " and the Computer chose " +str(Computer_object)+ ". You have tied with the Computer and neither of you have scored a point.")
          else:
              Computer_Score += 1
              print("You have chosen " +Player_object+ " and the Computer chose " +str(Computer_object)+ ".You have been beaten by the Computer and it has scored a point.")
  
  
      if Player_object == "S" or Player_object == "s":
          if str(Computer_object) == "R":
               print("You have chosen " +Player_object+ " and the Computer chose " +str(Computer_object)+ ".You have been beaten by the Computer and it has scored a point.")
          elif str(Computer_object) == "P":
              Computer_Score += 1
              print("You have chosen " +Player_object+ " and the Computer chose " +str(Computer_object)+ ". You have beaten the Computer and you have scored a point.")
          else:
              Player_Score += 1
              print("You have chosen " +Player_object+ " and the Computer chose " +str(Computer_object)+ ".You have tied with the Computer and neither of you have scored a point.")
  if Computer_Score == 5 and Player_Score != 5:
      print("The Computer has won!")
  if Player_Score == 5 and Computer_Score != 5:
      print("You have won and beaten the computer")
  R = "Rock"
  r = "Rock"
  P = "Paper"
  p = "Paper"
  S = "Scissors"
  s = "Scissors"
