Running program in the background?

Question

I tried making a program that tries to brute force guess a password. Its not the code I'm having trouble with but it seems python can't run a program in the background. Here is my sample code:

password = 4
guess = 0
if guess == password:
print("Yes")
else:
guess = guess + 1

It should continue until the point it gets to printing "Yes" but it just says no output.

Answer 1

The program only checks if guess is equal to password ONCE. So use a loop to check it multiple times...

password = 4
guess = 0

while guess != password:
guess += 1 # same as guess = guess + 1

print("Yes")

Answer 2

guess = ''
for _ in range(4):
guess = input('Enter password')
if guess == password:
break
else:
print("You didn't guess, sorry")
