This is an exercise from the Non-programmers tutorial for Python by Josh Cogliati.
The exercise is: Write a program that has a user guess your name, but they only get 3 chances to do so until the program quits. Here is my script: -------------------------- count = 0 name = raw_input("Guess my name. ") while name != 'Ben' and count < 3: count = count + 1 if name != 'Ben' and count < 3: name = raw_input('Guess again. ') elif name == 'Ben' and count < 3: print "You're right!" else: print 'No more tries.' ---------------------------------- Everything works except the line: print "You're right!" Could someone tell me what is wrong and give me a better alternative to what I came up with. Thank you Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
