title: printing a print statement after a certain amount of tries in a loop
body: <p>I am new to coding. I created a guessing game, and it works well but, I would like to know how to make it so that after the user attempts guessing the number 3 times, they get a hint which I put on the last line, but it is currently unreachable, and I do not know how to make the statement reachable, and in the <code>do</code> <code>while</code> loop. I am currently stuck. Thank you</p>
