I have been going through some Python Programming exercises while following the MIT OpenCourseWare Intro to CS syllabus and am having some trouble with the first "If" exercise listed on this page:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python_Programming/Conditional_Statements#If_Exercises

I have been able to make the module quit after entering a password three times, but can't get it to quit right away after the correct one is entered. I know this is really basic, please forgive me. I have no programming experience and have just started going through these tutorials.

My code is here:

When the code is that small please just put it in the body of your post. Save pastebin for (IMHO) anything over say 60 lines.

  1.
     password = "qwerty"
  2.
     guess = "0"
  3.
     count = 0
  4.
     while count != 3:
  5.
             guess = raw_input("Enter your password: ")
  6.
             guess = str(guess)
  7.
             if guess != password
  8.
                     print "Access Denied"
  9.
count = count + 1 10.
             else:
 11.
                     print "Password Confirmed"


2 ways - either

  1.
     while count != 3 and guess != password:

or

  11.             print "Password Confirmed"
  12.             break
