Modifying a while loop

[Suchy]

How can this loop be modified so that the statement "Please select an item from the list." is only repeated 3 times, and after the third unsecessful try a new message is displayed, ex. " You can't follow instructions, Good Bye"

while ((item != 1) && (item != 2) && (item != 3) && (item != 4))
 {
    cout << "Please select an item from the list." << endl ;
    cin >> item;
 }

Add a counter called numGuesses, which gets incremented each time.

while ( numGuesses < 3 && (item != 1) && (item != 2) && (item != 3) && (item != 4))
 {
    cout << "Please select an item from the list." << endl ;
    cin >> item;
    numGuesses++;
 }

Use the value to alter your prompt
