when i type in the wrong one it comes out the first time it shows "incorrect input", but when i type a right input in it afterwards it still shows the "incorrect input". but if the first time i type in the right input it shows "correct"

code:

loop
        itries := itries + 1
        for count : 1 .. 5
            getch (sinput)
            put "!"..
            inum := strint (sinput)
            if count = 1 then
                inum := inum * 10000
            elsif count = 2 then
                inum := inum * 1000
            elsif count = 3 then
                inum := inum * 100
            elsif count = 4 then
                inum := inum * 10
            else
                inum := inum
            end if
            iguess:=iguess+inum
            end for
    if (iguess div 1000) + (iguess mod 1000) = 368 then
    put "correct"
    scheck := "g"
    else
        put " Incorrect input."
    end if
    exit when itries = 3 or scheck = "g"
end loop

I believe that what your problem is is not re-declaring iguess each time you run through the loop. Therefore, what would happen is that iguess would keep increasing, and, after the first run-through, never reach your destination again. Hope that helps.
