Instead of getting a ChatGPT exercise, today I just continued with the JavaScript course by SuperSimpleDev learned about functions in JavaScript. We upgraded the Rock Paper Scissors game code from last time by using functions, making the code much shorter.

Since I know functions from python there was not much of a surprise for me here, thats fortunately almost all the same 🙂
