umm for my comp sci class i need to make a quiz thing that will ask the user for the capital of a province in canada and he will get 3 trys before moving on and if he or she gets it right the first time he gets 3 points and second guess he gets 2 points and 3rd guess he gets 1 point. Unfortunately i do not know how to do this. This is all i got so far.........

var tor, quecity, vict, edm, reg, winni, stj, fred, hali : string
var count : int := 0
put "Please answer with capital letters for first letter"
put "You get THREE trys for each question"
put ""
put ""
put "What is the capital of Ontario"
loop
count := count + 1
get tor
if tor = "Toronto" then
put "You are correct"
else
put "You are wrong. Please Try again"
end if
exit when count = 3 or tor = "Toronto"
end loop

put ""
put ""
put "What is the captial of Quebec"
loop
count := count+1
get quecity
if quecity = "Quebec City" then
put "You are correct"
else
put "Nope sorry. Youre Wrong"
end if
exit when count = 6 or quecity = "Quebec City"
end loop


This sort of works but i dun no how to do the points part and how to end it if the user were to get it rite on the second try or first.

code:

get quecity
if quecity = "Quebec City" then


Since Quebec City is a string with two words, you need to make your get statement compatible.

code:

get quecity :*
if quecity = "Quebec City" then


Good Luck.
