How to limit the amount of inputs(guesses)

[Azel Mr G]

Hello guys and thank you in advance for reading my post.

I am writing the following module which will ask the end-user to guess a number and after x amount of guesses a message should appear to says "Sorry, you have tried x times already"
This is what I have so far.

n = 56

while True:
        
    guess = int(input("Guess a number: "))
    if guess > n:
        print("Guess lower")
    elif guess < n:
        print("Guess higher")
    elif guess == n:
        print("Congrats!, you have guessed the right number")
        break

I don't know how to limit the amount of guesses. can anyone explain how that can be accomplished?

I am starting to learn the while loop.

Thank you again.

Instead of "while True", use a counter.
while ctr < max_num:

I haven't seen ctr yet but I tried it and it worked.
Thank you
