Password creating and testing

Question

Hi
I have tried to write this code that writes a new password and renters it to check if its right
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int pass, pass1;
int loo = 0;
cout<<"enter password" <<endl;
cin >> pass;
cout<< "renter password" <<endl;
cin>> pass1;

if ( pass != pass1 ){

if (loo<3){
cout<<"retry";
loo=1+loo;
cin>> pass1;
}

else {
cout<<"failed";
}

}
else{

cout<<"congrats";

}
}

Answer 1

Good work Khalid. We only have three chances!

Answer 2

This will only iterate one time though. Don't you need a while loop for it to continue asking for the correct password? Something like this?

// code you had before is fine

while (loo < 3 && pass != pass1) {
cout << "Retry: ";
cin >> pass1;
loo++;
}
if (pass != pass1) {
cout << "\nFailed to enter matching password.\n";
} else {
cout << "\nCorrect password match. Congratulations.\n";
}

EDIT: Sure, you will be able to enter the password twice the way you have it now, but it will only CHECK it one time without a loop.

Answer 3

You can see that i had an extra if statement for the loop to retry three times. I've tried the code you wrote and its the same situation.
