Ah, now things make sense! Your subject line is misleading! It's not that
the wikibooks example doesn't work, the example works fine. It's that the
code you added to it doesn't do what you expected. You should have said.
I copied it verbatim from the web page's solution. After indenting as
you suggested, it does work now though.
Thanks
A counter is added to give 3 tries to guess the number.
It is supposed to stop after count gets to 3. It doesn't. It just
keeps looping back and asking for another guess.
I just took a look at that web page, and I see what your problem actually is...
You are misunderstanding the problem. The problem does NOT say to end the loop at three tries,
just to keep track of the number of tries. It's not actually specific, but the implication is
that AFTER the loop display a message depending on the number of actual tires.
The wikibooks solution IS correct, you understanding of the stated problem is
not.
My response here may sound harsh but I don't mean it to be, so please don't take it that way.
Python is a great language to learn -- keep it up, you'll get it! :-)
