I'm creating a Rock Paper Scissor program. At the end, I want it to determine the winner of all games played. It always prints out "Player1 beat Player2 and I" regardless of whoever has the highest score. Where is my mistake and how should I correct it?

System.out.println("Player2 beat Player1 and I!");
}
else
System.out.println("I beat Player1 and Player2!");
}//end while loop

}//end program

Your conditional should be
if ((win1 > win2) && (win1 > compWin)){
System.out.println("Player1 beat Player2 and I!");
}
else if ((win2 > win1) && (win2 > compWin)){
System.out.println("Player2 beat Player1 and I!");
}
else
System.out.println("I beat Player1 and Player2!");
}
because AND statement in java is "&&" not "&",
also your conditional checking is wrong

if (win1 > (win2 & compWin))
This should be
if (win1 > win2 && win1 > compWin)
And same thing for the else if.
The logical AND operator is &&. & is a bitwise AND, which is an entirely different operation. That's a somewhat advanced capability you won't be using just yet.
What you wrote is a common mistake where translating English directly into code doesn't work. && and || don't work quite the same as "and" and "or" do in English.
(By the way, grammatically it should say "Player1 beat Player2 and me.")

You are using a bitwise operator in your comparison. I don't think that is what you intended.
if (win1 > (win2 & compWin)){
// if win2 = 14 and compWin = 9
// 9 (base 10) = 00000000000000000000000000001001 (base 2)
// 14 (base 10) = 00000000000000000000000000001110 (base 2)
// --------------------------------
//14 & 9 (base 10) = 00000000000000000000000000001000 (base 2) = 8 (base 10)
// if win2 = 14 and compWin = 0; 14 & 0 = 0
System.out.println("Player1 beat Player2 and I!");
}
I think you meant to compare win1 to win2 and compWin using the logical && operator.
// Should be:
if(win1 > win2 && win1 > compWin) {
System.out.println("Player1 beat Player2 and I!");
}
else if (win2 > win1 && win2 > compWin)){
System.out.println("Player2 beat Player1 and I!");
}
else
System.out.println("I beat Player1 and Player2!");
}
Logical expressions using && or || are evaluated on one side, then the other. If the left side is true, && the right side is true, return true; otherwise return false.

How to restart Rock Paper and Scissors game mutliple times until user quits in Java

Hello I'm stuck on how to keep the game going until the user decides to quit. I want to try any way possible to get the game to end and display the amount of losses, ties, and wins. I'm trying to use a while loop.
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;
public class JavaApplication15 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int ties = 0, wins = 0, losses = 0;
String comp = "";
String user = "";
Random choice = new Random();
String startover = "y";
while (startover.equals("y")) {
int computerchoice = choice.nextInt(3) + 1;
if (computerchoice == 1)
comp = "R";
else if (computerchoice == 2)
comp = "P";
else if (computerchoice == 3)
comp = "S";
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter rock (1), paper (2), or scissors (3) [no to quit]: ");
int player = scanner.nextInt();
if (player == 1) {
user = "R";
} else if (player == 2) {
user = "P";
} else if (player == 3) {
user = "S";
}
System.out.println("You choose: " + user);
System.out.println("Computer chooses: " + comp);
if (comp.equals(user)) {
System.out.println("It's a tie!");
ties++;
} else if (user.equals("R")) {
if (comp.equals("P"))
System.out.println("Computer wins! Paper beats rock!");
losses++;
} else if (comp.equals("S")) {
System.out.println("You win! Your rock beats the scissors!");
wins++;
} else if (user.equals("S")) {
if (comp.equals("P"))
System.out.println("You win! Scissor beats paper!");
wins++;
} else if (comp.equals("R")) {
System.out.println("Computer wins! Rock beats paper!");
losses++;
} else if (user.equals("P"))
if (comp.equals("R")) {
System.out.println("You win! Paper beats rock!");
wins++;
} else if (comp.equals("S")) {
System.out.println("Computer wins! Scissors beats paper!");
losses++;
}
}
{
System.out.println("Invalid input! Try again");
System.out.println("Your ties: " + ties);
System.out.println("Your wins: " + wins);
System.out.println("You losses: " + losses);
startover = "no";
}
}

instead of doing scanner.nextInt(); you could do
System.out.println("Enter rock (1), paper (2), or scissors (3) [\'n\' to quit]: ");
char selection = scanner.nextLine().charAt(0)
if(selection == '1'){ user = "R"; }
else if(selection == '2'){ user = "P"; }
else if(selection == '3'){ user = "S"; }
else if(selection == 'n'){
System.out.println(ties)
System.out.println(wins);
System.out.println(losses);
return;
}
this makes the selection variable a char, and you can test if it's 1, 2, or 3 (that is, the characters 1 2 or 3), and also check for 'n'.
since you're working in the main method, simply putting "return" will exit the program at that point.

You just need add a new option 4
else if (computerchoice == 4)
comp = "E";
} else if (comp.equals("E")) {
System.out.println("Your ties: " + ties);
System.out.println("Your wins: " + wins);
System.out.println("You losses: " + losses);
startover = "no";
}

I tried out your code as-is, and what I found out is that your code infact never stops. The while loop has no proper condition to exit. So I made some minor changes to make it work.
int ties = 0, wins = 0, losses = 0;
String comp = "";
String user = "";
Random choice = new Random();
String startover = "y";
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); //Scanner object should not be open in loop, it is a resource wastage
while (startover.equals("y")) {
int computerchoice = choice.nextInt(3) + 1;
if (computerchoice == 1)
comp = "R";
else if (computerchoice == 2)
comp = "P";
else if (computerchoice == 3)
comp = "S";
System.out.println("Enter rock (1), paper (2), or scissors (3) [no to quit]: ");
String input = scanner.nextLine(); //take input in string
int player ;
try {
player = Integer.parseInt(input); //see if actually number was given as input
} catch(Exception ex) {
break; //if not, then we assume player wants to quit
}
if (player == 1) {
user = "R";
} else if (player == 2) {
user = "P";
} else if (player == 3) {
user = "S";
}
System.out.println("You choose: " + user);
System.out.println("Computer chooses: " + comp);
if (comp.equals(user)) {
System.out.println("It's a tie!");
ties++;
} else if (user.equals("R")) {
if (comp.equals("P"))
System.out.println("Computer wins! Paper beats rock!");
losses++;
} else if (comp.equals("S")) {
System.out.println("You win! Your rock beats the scissors!");
wins++;
} else if (user.equals("S")) {
if (comp.equals("P"))
System.out.println("You win! Scissor beats paper!");
wins++;
} else if (comp.equals("R")) {
System.out.println("Computer wins! Rock beats paper!");
losses++;
} else if (user.equals("P"))
if (comp.equals("R")) {
System.out.println("You win! Paper beats rock!");
wins++;
} else if (comp.equals("S")) {
System.out.println("Computer wins! Scissors beats paper!");
losses++;
}
}
scanner.close(); //scanner was not closed before
System.out.println("Your ties: " + ties);
System.out.println("Your wins: " + wins);
System.out.println("You losses: " + losses);
startover = "no"; //redundant actually

Rock Paper Scissors Game Best 2 out of 3 Loop Issues

How do I make the computer automatically win when the wrong input (something aside from the options; rock, paper, scissors) is entered? It need these to be counted as well. Also, when the players chooses to play again, how can I remove "Welcome..." from reappearing; It is only needed when program first starts.

You could always just change your if statements to the following:
if(UserInput.equals("Rock")) {
Player = 1;
}
else if(UserInput.equals("Paper")) {
Player = 2;
}
else if(UserInput.equals("Scissors")) {
Player = 3;
}
else {
Player = 0;
}
You already have it set up so that if player < 1, the computer wins automatically.
Note: your while (Player > 3 || Player < 1) statement should actually be an if statement. Otherwise, you'll have an infinite loop there.
To answer your second question, just move the statement System.out.print("Welcome to Rock Paper Scissors! Best 2 out of 3! \n"); above your loop. That way it will only be asked once: at the beginning.

For both the player entering in the wrong data and checking if they have already played, create Booleans and check those Booleans in an if/else statement. Since this may or may not be homework I'll solve this for the "Welcome... " message.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
Boolean firstPlay = true;
//Set integers for wins, losses, rounds, and user
while(true){
int wins = 0;
int losses = 0;
int round = 0;
int Player = 0;
//Plays 3 rounds before terminating
//Prompt user to input Rock Paper Scissors
if(firstPlay) {
System.out.print("Welcome to Rock Paper Scissors! Best 2 out of 3! \n");
firstPlay = false;
}

It seems like you are setting the value of "Player" to either 1, 2, or 3 with the default being 0. I would say set it to the default value at the start of every loop, and if its 0 allow the computer to win. Or change your if satements to if-elseif. I'll provide an example below.
....
if(UserInput.equals("Rock")) {
Player = 1;
} else if(UserInput.equals("Paper")) {
Player = 2;
} else if(UserInput.equals("Scissors")) {
Player = 3;
} else {
Player = 0;
}
Since you already have a statement saying if Player < 1 or > 3 that the computer wins, you are set. Also your "Welcome" statement is inside of your while loop. Because of this every time it iterates through the loop you will see it. Try moving it outside of the loop.

Java rock paper scissors loop

I'm having to make a paper rock scissors program that has the user enter in a choice, then tests it against the computer's choice. After every game, it should ask the player if they want to continue, and they should enter in 'Y' or 'N' to continue or quit. The best I could think was a while loop, and everything works fine except the very last bit.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class rockpaperscissors {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
char cont = 'y';
while (cont == 'y'){
int com = (int)(Math.random() * 3);
System.out.println("Paper (0), Rock (1), or Scizzors (2)?");
int hum = input.nextInt();
if (com==(hum))
System.out.println("It's a tie!");
else if (hum == 0)
{
if (com == 1)
System.out.println ("You chose paper, computer chose rock You Win!");
else if (com == 2)
System.out.println ("You chose paper, Computer chose scissors You Lose!");
}
else if (hum == 1)
{
if (com == 2)
System.out.println ("You chose Rock, computer chose scissors You Win!");
else if (com == 0)
System.out.println ("You chose Rock, Computer chose paper You Lose!");
}
else if (hum == 2)
{
if (com == 0)
System.out.println ("You chose Scissors, computer chose paper You Win!");
else if (com == 1)
System.out.println ("You chose Scissors, Computer chose rock You Lose!");
}
System.out.println("Would you like to continue? (Y/N)");
cont = input.nextLine().charAt(0);
}
}
}
When I run it, the loop runs fine, the game is played, but then I get a 'string out of index range' error. Any idea how to resolve this?

Your nextInt() just reads the number from the input buffer, leaving the new line in it. So when you call input.nextLine() you're getting an empty line - the rest of the first line after the number. You should read the next-line and make sure it's not empty. If it is, just read it again.
Incidentally, your code that figures out who won is a bit cumbersome. If I were you, I would try to make it a little more general and clean. Think about a solution that can handle a more complex game, such as Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock without adding too much code.

When you get the answer from the user, you don't read the next line so the scanner still has a new line character. Then when you read the nextline you read that new line, and therefore there is no charat(0).
Change:
cont = input.nextLine().charAt(0);
to:
cont = input.next().charAt(0);

I made a simple game in Java. Is it possible to refresh the console, so that everytime it receives new data it displays only that?

My game will play 10 rounds, so each time you advance to a new round, the preceding rounds are still visible. Is there anyway to have the console refresh itself so that only the round you are on is visible?

If your platform is UNIX/Linux and you run your game on a terminal, all you need to do is send a control sequence which clears the screen. You can find out what the sequence is by checking what the clear command does, e.g. with the following command:
clear | od -t c
On most terminals this displays
0000000 033 [ H 033 [ 2 J
0000007
which is really two ANSI/VT100 control sequences: Cursor Home and Erase Screen. See ANSI/VT100 control sequences for details.
You can send the sequence from Java like this:
System.out.println("\033[H\033[2J");
If you're looking for a more portable way of doing this, you can just display a sufficiently large number of newline characters. This however will position the cursor at the bottom of the screen.

You want to "clear the screen" or "clear the console"
