Problem

I'm learning javascript and I decided to create simple Rock, Paper, Scissors game. I want to make it controllable by buttons. So I made this in html: ``` <div id="game"> <button onClick="user(rock)">Rock</button> <button onClick="user(paper)">Paper</button> <button onClick="user(scissors)">Scissors</button> <div id="result"></div> <br> <br> <button onClick="test()">DEBUG</button> </div> ``` and this in .js file. ``` var user = "none"; function user(choice){ var user = choice; } function test(click){ alert("You chose " + user); } ``` So I thought that after I click Rock button it will change var user to rock but it doesn't. After I click rock and then Debug button I get "You chose none".
