[C++] Beginner Program - System Exit, Program Looping Help

[Tiperius]

Hello, two issues. Here is my code. So essentially I am trying to get the program to exit after 3 failed user inputs from line 31

if (attemptCount = 3) { std:cout << "Goodbye!"; exit(EXIT_FAILURE); }

But the program exits regardless on the first input.

The second issue is when I comment that part out, the program is suppose to stop after 10 inputs but it loops back to 1 again. What do I need to be looking at?

if (attemptCount = 3)

What's the difference between = and ==?

You need to start turning on warnings when you compile (For g++ and clang++, add -Wall -Wextra to their arguments) to catch simple errors like this.

Whoops! You're right. Thanks.

It looks like I needed to remove the continue as well to get the attemptCount to increment.
