[manutd4life230]

here is the codes, its my first time am using pascal.

program security;
uses wincrt;

var
   username:string;
   password:string;
   counter:integer;
Begin
     counter:=1
     write('Username');
     readln(username);
     write('password');
     readln(password);

     if (username='admin') and (password='admin') then
        writeln('OK')

     else
         while (counter<= {how to define an error this is my prob} ) do


end.

here is what i'll tries, my prob is how to define an error dont no if u understant, but thanks for reply.

i made a program to calculate x to the power of y, so user input x and y, program calculate x to the power of y.
But problem is 6 to the power of 6 dont work, but 5 to power 5 works perfectly

here is the codes:

Program power;
uses wincrt;

var
   x:integer;
   y:integer;
   counter:integer;
   result:integer;
Begin
    write('Enter X=');
    readln(x);
    write('Enter y=');
    readln(y);
    counter:=1;
    result:=1;
    if y=0 then
       result:=0
    else
        while (counter<=y)do
              Begin
                    result:=(x*result);
                    counter:=counter+1;
              end;
    writeln('result=',result);

end.

sorry for the codes they are no in good view.

You used the wrong bb code. When inserting code in your post place
[code]
before it and
[/code]
after it. Then it will look pretty and preserve whitespace.

Your power program works perfectly for me.

For the other, you need a somewhat tricky loop. Here's a help:

for num_tries := 3 downto 1 do 
  begin
  write( 'Username: ' );
  readln( username );

  write( 'Password: ' );
  readln( password );

  if (username = 'admin') and (password = 'admin')
    then break
    else begin
         writeln( 'You have ', num_tries -1, ' tries left.' )
         end
  end;

if (username <> 'admin') or (password <> 'admin') then
  begin
  writeln( 'Access denied!' );
  exit
  end;

writeln( 'Access granted!' );
...

You don't have to limit the number of tries. You could just loop until the username and password match. However you need it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for ur help.
i used it with repeat until:

program security;
uses wincrt;

var
   username:string;
   password:string;

Begin

     write('Username ');
     readln(username);
     write('password ');
     readln(password);

     if (username='admin') and (password='admin') then
        writeln('Access Granted')

     else
         while (username<>'admin') and (password<>'admin') do
              Begin
                   repeat
                        clrscr;
                        write('Username ');
                        readln(username);
                        write('password ');
                        readln(password);
                   until
                        (username='admin')and(password='admin');
                        writeln('Access Granted');
              end;      
end.
