Dear All,
I have been learning computer programming with Python only for a short
while. I have a question to do with breaking the *while loop*.
I have attached the source code of a program called 'Guess my number' with
the *while loop* running until the right number is guessed.
I want to limit the number of tries to 5. To do that, I have tried the *if
structure* along with the *break statement* immediately below the
'tries += 1' line:
if tries > 5:
break
print "Wrong guess!"
Which still did not result in the *while loop* breaking after attempt No
5.
I would appreciate being explained what I am doing wrong.
It would have helped if you had given the code *with* the extra lines in it.
My first guess is that you did a wrong indentation, but without the actual
code I cannot be sure.
