I am in the early stages of working with programing. Everyone I talk to around here who is in programing knows how to do the hard stuff but everyone of them said they did not have to start off using basic.
I am trying to make that numbers game. I can get it to loop however I can not get it to stop the loop and it wants to keep going. I have posted the code below. If someone can help me please let me know. thank you

Print "You had your seven guesses."
Print "The secret number was"; secretnum
Print "More than 7 guesses you lose!"
Print "Thank you for playing" 

end if 
end sub


sub compute
'user enters a number
Input "Enter a number between 1 and 1000"; yournumber
'computer computes difference
difference = yournumber - secretnum 
difference = abs (difference)
end sub

sub display
    'computer dispalys info according to guess
If difference >range1 then
Print "Freezing cold. Off by more than 300"

ELSE
IF difference>range2 then
Print "Cold. Off by 200-300" 

ELSE
IF difference >range3 then
Print "Cool. Off by 100-199"

ELSE
IF difference >range4 THEN
PRINT "Warm. Off by 50-99"   

ELSE
IF difference > range5 THEN
Print "Hot! Off by 10-49" 

ELSE
IF difference > range6 THEN
PRINT "On Fire! Off by 1-9" 
end if
end if
end if
end if
end if
end if
end sub

sub win
IF yournumber = secretnum then 
  
  Print "*********************************"
  Print "********** You guessed **********"
  Print "*********************************"
  Print "*Your number is the secret number*"
  Print "*********************************"
  Print "****You Win! Congratulations*****"  
  Print "*********************************"
End if
end sub

Try the following -

do while yournumber = secretnum and counter <=7
counter=counter+1

compute
display

gameover
loop
