[Tutor] guess my number game (reversed)

[Farooq Karimi Zadeh]

Add a new variable named "number of guesses", increase it each time
and break the loop when it reaches, for example 10. This means user
can have 10 guesses max. If they couldn't guess the number, they are
losers!
You also could do the opposite: have number of guesses=10 in the
beginning and decrease it by 1 each time till it reaches zero.
