Thread: limited password entry attempts (console app) - from "Jumping into C++"

Hi,
I'm new at C++
I need help with my code.
I want to be able to output a message when all attempts have been used up, however my program just ends when attempts reach 0.
I know its a super easy fix, I just can't find out what it is.
Thankyou!

Code:

int main()
{
 string correctPassword = "OpenSesame";
 string password;
 
 for (int attempts = 4; attempts > 0; attempts--)
 {
  cout << "Please enter your password: ";
  cin >> password;
  
  if(password == correctPassword)
  {
   cout << "CORRECT PASSWORD ENTERED!\n\n" << "Please wait . . . \n\n\n";
   break;
  }
  
  else if(attempts == 0)
  {
   cout << "WARNING: All attempts failed! System shutting down . . .\n\n";
  }
  else
  {
   cout << "INCORRECT PASSWORD ENTERED!\n\n";
   cout << "Attempts left: " << attempts - 1 << "\n\n";
  }
 }
 return 0;
}

Code:

int main()
{
 string correctPassword = "OpenSesame";
 string password;
 
 for (int attempts = 4; attempts >= 0; attempts--) // greater than or equal to
 {
  cout << "Please enter your password: ";
  cin >> password;
  
  if(password == correctPassword)
  {
   cout << "CORRECT PASSWORD ENTERED!\n\n" << "Please wait . . . \n\n\n";
   break;
  }
  
  else if(attempts == 0)
  {
   cout << "WARNING: All attempts failed! System shutting down . . .\n\n";
  }
  else
  {
   cout << "INCORRECT PASSWORD ENTERED!\n\n";
   cout << "Attempts left: " << attempts << "\n\n"; // removed the offset
  }
 }
 return 0;
}

My code has four spaces aka TAB. . .
However when I copy it and paste it into the New Thread window, it changes removes spaces, I have no idea why.
