adding a condition to a java code where user can only have 4 tries

samer g :

So I have this code where the user enters a random number from 0 to 9 and has to guess the number but I want to limit the users trials to 4 once he guessed wrong 4 times the system stops and displays a message "you exceeded your allowed trials" this is my code so far:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    int nb,x;
    int count= 0;
    Scanner inp= new Scanner(System.in);
    nb= (int)(Math.random()*10);
    System.out.print("Guess the number between 0 and 9");
    x=inp.nextInt();

    while(x!= nb) {
        if(x>nb) System.out.println("Lesser");
        else if (x<nb) System.out.println("Bigger");
        System.out.println("Try another Number");
        x=inp.nextInt();
        count++;

    }

    System.out.println("Found!!");
    System.out.println("Number of Guesses:" +count);


    inp.close();

}

You can also used you count variable to keep track of attempts, once user ends with limit you can exit the program by breaking the while loop using break statement.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    int nb,x;
    int count= 1;
    Scanner inp= new Scanner(System.in);
    nb= (int)(Math.random()*10);
    System.out.print(nb);
    System.out.print("Guess the number between 0 and 9:");
    x=inp.nextInt();

    while(x!= nb) {
        if (count <= 3){
        if(x>nb) System.out.println("Lesser");
        else if (x<nb) System.out.println("Bigger");
        System.out.println("Try another Number");
        x=inp.nextInt();
        }
        else{
            System.out.print("you exceeded your allowed trials");
            break;

        }
        count++;

    }

    System.out.println("Found!!");
    System.out.println("Number of Guesses:" +count);


    inp.close();

   }
}
