Sane, this is really just an exorcise I am learning to code. Ive been wasting enough time in front of computers long enough that I should know how to write some form of computer language other than html. I liked python after looking at many different types of code. One question though on line 12 you put count = 3 what does that line do? Even after debugging Im not quite sure.

You know what sane, no more than 2 minutes after my last post, I had finished looking over the code one more time and I think I get what line 12 does. It forces the count so that the program stops checking the count and reprinting the line. Am I close?

peace_of_mind

The loop is set to run 3 times (max_count). Setting count to 3 after the correct password is given exits the loop.

Yes, congrats. Because in order for the while to loop, count must be < then max_count. So making count 3 forces the loop to exit. My example isn't exactly what you wanted though. If you're still having a little trouble, I'll be glad to show you how I'd do it.

And I applaud your overcoming of wasting time on the Computer. I see far too many people wasting what could be very valuable time, and too many unambitious people with no motivation to drive them against this factor.

You guys rock youve been more than help all your ideas were great, and because of you guys I think that Im actually on my way to learning how to code. Thank you.
