code and explanation for this question

Answer 1

abhinav = str(input("Abhinav's choice:"))
anjali = str(input("Anjali's choice:"))
if not ((anjali.lower() in ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]) and (abhinav.lower() in ["rock", "paper", "scissors"])):
    print("Invalid input")#Checking the correctness of the input
else:
    if abhinav.lower() == anjali.lower():#If both players made the same choice, then a draw
        print("Draw")
    elif abhinav.lower() == "rock":
        if anjali.lower() == "paper":
            print("Anjali wins")
        else:
            print("Abhinav wins")#If the first player chooses a rock, then he will lose to paper and win against the scissors
    elif abhinav.lower() == "paper":
        if anjali.lower() == "rock":
            print("Abhinav wins")
        else:
            print("Anjali wins")#If the first player chose paper, then he will lose with scissors and win against a rock
    elif abhinav.lower() == "scissors":
        if anjali.lower() == "rock":
            print("Anjali wins")
        else:
            print("Abhinav wins")#If the first player chooses scissors, then he will lose to the rock, he will win against the paper
