[SOLVED] Need help with Loops...please!

[Zebra]

Hey thanks for your time. Can you please help me with my program. Originally this code asks the user to input a password until he/she gets it correct. But I am suppose to change the code to make it where the user gets only 3 tries to get it correct. Can somebody please help me and tell me what I am suppose to do. Thanks!

import java.util.Scanner;
class Example3 {
public static void main (String[] args)
{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String password = "";
while(!(password.equals("branes")))
{
System.out.println("What is the password");
password = scan.nextLine();
}
System.out.println("Welcome!");
}
}

BLUE= Change to whatever you want

import java.util.Scanner;
class Loop1 {

    public static void main (String[] args)
{

        int count = 1;

        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        String password = "";

        boolean foundpassword = false;
        while(count <= 3)
        {
            System.out.println("What is the password");
            password = scan.nextLine();
            if(password.equals("[COLOR="Navy"]Zebra is cool[/COLOR]"))
            {
                count = 4;
                foundpassword = true;
            }
            else
            {
                count = count + 1;
            }
        }

            if(foundpassword == true)
            {
                System.out.println("[COLOR="Navy"]Welcome![/COLOR]");
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.println("[COLOR="Navy"]Sorry...you failed![/COLOR]");

            }
        }
    }

Nice one!

I have done it for you this time but in future please add the [code] [ /code] tags around your code. It makes it much easier to reads and avoids errors.

Ok no problem. Thanks!
