Write a program that has a user guess your name, but they only get 3 chances to do so until the program quits.

name = raw_input("What's my name? ")
answer = "Jack"
attempt = 0
 
if name == answer:
	print("That's correct!")
else:
	while name != answer and attempt < 2:
		attempt = attempt + 1
		name = raw_input("That's incorrect. Please try again: ")
		if name == answer:
			print("That's correct!")
		elif attempt == 2:
			print("You've exceeded your number of attempts.")
