I need some help with fixing a break bug

[jamerpig]

I've been working on a rock paper scissors project and I am very confused about a bug: "break statement not within loop or switch"
Here's the code:

void loop(){
  if ((digitalRead(buttonRock) == LOW) && (digitalRead(buttonPaper) == LOW) && (digitalRead(buttonScissor) == LOW)) {
    if (digitalRead(buttonRock) == LOW){
      myMove = "Rock";
    }
    if (digitalRead(buttonPaper) == LOW){
      myMove = "Paper";
    }
    if (digitalRead(buttonScissor) == LOW){
      myMove = "Scissor";
    }
     
    int rand_choice = (int)(random() * 3);
    if (rand_choice == 0) {
      opponentMove = "Rock";
      digitalWrite(opponentRock, HIGH);
    }
    if (rand_choice == 1) {
      opponentMove = "Paper";
      digitalWrite(opponentPaper, HIGH);
    }
    if (rand_choice == 2) {
      opponentMove = "Scissor";
      digitalWrite(opponentScissor, HIGH);
    }

    if (myMove == opponentMove){
      digitalWrite(tie, HIGH);
      break;
      
    }

  }
}

I know this is long but if you have any help, that would be great. TIA

Simple Google search found this:

Description. break is used to exit from a for , while or do…​while loop, bypassing the normal loop condition. It is also used to exit from a switch case statement.

Welcome to this forum. Could you edit your post and put a complete sketch between lines with three backslash-single-quotes.

"break statement not within loop or switch"

Seems self-explanatory, this section of your improperly-posted code is neither a loop nor a switch construct:

if (myMove == opponentMove){
  digitalWrite(tie, HIGH);
  break;
}

i wanted to break from the void loop(){}

Then return is what you need.

i just dont know how to make it only break from void loop when myMove == opponentMove. im used to coding on python, so this is just weird for me.

nvm i just found a work around

How about posting the working sketch with the solution?

I just removed the break entirely because I realized the game worked better without it.
