I am using the following method which works but wondering if there is a better algorithm to perform the test. Is there a better way to do it? Doing this in C# but putting syntax

System.out.println("\n 1 For Rock");
System.out.println("\n 2 For Paper");
System.out.println("\n 3 For Scissors");

loop = 0;
while (loop == 0){
System.out.println("\n\nWhat do you choose ?");
int userInput;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
userInput = input.nextInt();
while (userInput > 3 || userInput <= 0 ){ //ensure that the number input by the sure is within range 1-3. if else the loop trap.
System.out.println("Your choice "+userInput+" is not among the choices that are given. Please enter again.");
userInput = input.nextInt();
