    Assigning values to and extracting them from a vector

    I am writing a program to play rock paper scissors, and I am trying to get a vector to store the result of a given round of play, and output it as a declaration as to who won. I can't figure out how to store the values in the vector properly, and how to use the vector as an argument to output the result of play.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <ctime>
    #include <vector>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;
    
    const string name[4] = {" ", "rock", "paper", "scissors"};
    
    const string roundResult[3] = {"computer win", "player win", "tie"};
    
    void getPlayerChoice(int & choice)
    {
    	
    	cout << "Pick 1 (rock), 2 (paper), or 3 (scissors): ";
    	cin >> choice;
    	if (choice <=3 && choice >=1)
    		choice = choice;
    	else
    		cout << "invalid choice, try again\n" << endl;
    
    	
    		
    }
    
    
    int getRoundResult (int computerChoice, int playerChoice)
    
    {
    	if (computerChoice == playerChoice)
    	{return 3;
    	}
    	else if ((playerChoice == 1 && computerChoice == 2) 
    		|| (playerChoice == 2 && computerChoice == 3)
    		|| (playerChoice == 3 && computerChoice == 1))
    	{return 2;
    	}
    	else if  ((playerChoice == 2 && computerChoice == 1) 
    		|| (playerChoice == 3 && computerChoice == 2)
    		|| (playerChoice == 1 && computerChoice == 3))
    	{return 1;
    	}
    }
    
    void showRoundResult(int computerChoice, int playerChoice, int roundResult)
    {
    	if (roundResult == 3)
    	{cout << "I chose " << name[computerChoice] << " too, so we tied.\n\n";
    	}
    	else if (roundResult == 1)
    	{cout << "I chose " << name[computerChoice] << ", so I win. "
    	<< name[computerChoice] << " beats " << name[playerChoice] << ".\n\n";
    	}
    	else if  (roundResult == 2)
    	{cout << "I chose " << name[computerChoice] << ", so you win! "
    	<< name[playerChoice] << " beats " << name[computerChoice] << ".\n\n";
    	}
    
    	
    }
    void showGameResults(vector<int> results, const int size, int games)
    {
    	cout << "Game Results\n" << endl;
    	cout << "------------\n";
    	cout << "Round" << setw(3) << "Result\n";
    	
    	for (games = 0; games < size; games++)
    	{
    
    		cout << games + 1 << setw(7) << roundResult->at(games) << endl;
    	}
    }
    
    int main()
    {
    	int games, choice(0), computerChoice, playerChoice, roundResult;
    
    	const int size = 10;
    
    	vector<int> results;
    
    	srand(int(time(NULL)));
    
    	cout <<  "CPS 150 Assignment 10 by -----------\n";
    
    	cout << "\nLet's play Rock-Paper-Scissors!" << endl;
    
    	cout << "We will play 10 rounds.\n" << endl;
    
    	for (games = 0; games < size; games++)
    	{
    		computerChoice = 1 + rand() % 3;
    
    		getPlayerChoice(choice);
    
    		playerChoice = choice;
    
    		roundResult = getRoundResult(playerChoice, computerChoice);
    
    		results.push_back(roundResult);
    
    		showRoundResult(computerChoice, playerChoice, roundResult);
    
    		
    
    }
    	showGameResults(results, size, games);
    }

    The only remark I have is that you should pass the vector by const reference to showGameResults, rather than by value. Also, an instance of vector already knows its own size.
