Project 4: Secret Code Checker

Build a Secret Code Checker

Combine loops and conditionals to build a guessing game. The player has limited attempts to guess the correct secret code.

YOUR TASK

Create a program that:

Stores a secret code in a variable (e.g. "js42")
Creates an array of guesses to simulate attempts
Loops through the guesses (max 3 attempts)
Logs "Access granted!" if the guess is correct and breaks
Logs "Wrong code. X tries left." on a miss
Logs "Access denied." after all attempts fail

Need a hint?

Step-by-step:
1. const secret = "js42";
2. const guesses = ["abc", "js42", "xyz"];
3. let success = false;
4. for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {'{'}
5.   if (guesses[i] === secret) {'{'}
6.     console.log("Access granted!");
7.     success = true; break;
8.   {'}'} else {'{'}
9.     console.log("Wrong code. " + (2 - i) + " tries left.");
10.   {'}'}
11. {'}'}
12. if (!success) console.log("Access denied.");

Example (guesses: "abc", "js42", "xyz"):

Wrong code. 1 tries left.
Access granted!
