Hi all,  I am new to the group.  Trying to learn Python programming on my 
own.  I am working through Michael Dawson's Book Python Programming for the 
absolute beginner.

I am tring to write a program that is a number guessing game.  I want to be 
able to give the user 5 tries to guess the number before the program ends.

I get the result that I want when the user misses after the 5th try.  But it 
does not go down to my closing statement to end.  Rather is askes for 
another guess.

I appreciate any help you can give.  If  this is not the correct group for 
these types of questions, I apologize and hope that you can direct me to 
another NG.

Thanks,
Chad

print "You guess correctly!!"
print "The number was:", the_number
