Do-while and for loops for guessing game

jacqdomi (4)

My code is running correctly, only I'm not sure why I'm having to press "ENTER" when the user gets the answer wrong and loops back around for the same hint. I would like for it to say, "That is incorrect. Please try again." and the user answers right there instead of having to repeat the hint.

Remove line 59 and 60 and your code will work as intended.
