Determining the winner of rock paper scissors?

Comicalizard (11)
In this program I am attempting to determine the winner of rock, paper, scissors. unfortunately when using lowercase letters the code will register it as an invalid entry. How could I get around this?

I thought that converting the characters to upper case would help?

The error is at line number 16-18.
It should be:
1
2
3
 
        playerOne= toupper(playerOne);
        playerTwo= toupper(playerTwo);
