Need Help Putting The Else Into The While With A Counter

password = str() while password != 'changeme': password = input('Password: ') print('Thou Shall Pass Into Mordor') else print('Thou Shall Not Pass Into Mordor') Could I pleas

Solution 1:

Use break to end a loop, and use for with a range():

for attempt inrange(5):
    password = input("Password: ")
    if password == "changeme":
        print("Thou Shall Pass Into Mordor")
        breakelse:
    print("Thou Shall Not Pass Into Mordor")

The else branch of a for loop is only executed when you did not use break to end the loop.

Demo:

>>># Five failed attempts...>>>for attempt inrange(5):...    password = input("Password: ")...if password == "changeme":...print("Thou Shall Pass Into Mordor")...break...else:...print("Thou Shall Not Pass Into Mordor")... 
Password: You shall not pass!
Password: One doesn't simply walk into Mordor!
Password: That sword was broken!
Password: It has been remade!
Password: <whispered> Toss me!
Thou Shall Not Pass Into Mordor
>>># Successful attempt after one failure...>>>for attempt inrange(5):...    password = input("Password: ")...if password == "changeme":...print("Thou Shall Pass Into Mordor")...break...else:...print("Thou Shall Not Pass Into Mordor")... 
Password: They come in pints?! I'm having one!
Password: changeme
Thou Shall Pass Into Mordor
