Let's represent the outcomes of the rock-paper-scissors game in the form of a table (in other words, a matrix). The rows of the table correspond to the possible moves of the first player, and the columns correspond the possible moves of the second player:
First playerSecond playerRockPaperScissors Rock 01−1 Paper −101 Scissors 1−10Here in the table, 0 denotes a draw, 1 denotes a victory of the first player and −1 denotes a victory of the second player. If the entries of that table form a 3×3 matrix
A=[aij⋮⋯⋱]withi=1,2,3andj=1,2,3,then which of the outcomes of a rock-paper-scissors game corresponds to the entry a23?
Tip: Do you remember the correct order of an element's indices in a matrix?
