Guessing Game program needs to limit the user to only 5 guesses, recieves runtime error can anyone exsplain to me why ?

When do you get the error? Also, could you please use the CODE tags from now on?

Run - Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'noOfGuesses' is being used without being initialized.

is the error i get when i run it.

noOfGuesses isn't being set to anything before you're using it in the while loop so it doesn't know if it's less than 5 and it also can't add 1 to it
