<font face="adobe-courier-iso10646-1">hi there,<br>
<br>
i am new to python and programming so here it i am asking:<br>
<br>
i am doing one exercise in a tuturial but could not make what iam
trying to achieve,<br>
what i am doing is a script that asks for a password for three tries,
when you hit wrong password three times it will terminate the script
but when you hit the right pass word it will say "Welcome."<br>
<br>
and here is the code:<br>
<br>
passwd = 0<br>
print "Please enter your password."<br>
password = ""<br>
while passwd != 3 :<br>
<br>
<br>
if password != "pogingbakla" :<br>
password = raw_input("Password:")<br>
passwd = passwd + 1<br>
if passwd < 3 :<br>
print "Wrong try again."<br>
<br>
else:<br>
print "You have entered wrong password three times, try
again later." <br>
<br>
else:<br>
print "Welcome."<br>
<br>
my problem is when i execute the script and typed the right password
the it loops forever the "Welcome." greeting.<br>
i could not terminate the program once i entered the right password.<br>
<br>
what am i doing wrong here? i know i am missing something.<br>
<br>
thanx again.<br>
