Question

I'm working on a game for my assignment and I'm stuck on a part where I need to display a message like "Great you are a master at this" IF the user answers correctly 5 times in a row, what I did was something like this:

if correct_guesses == 5 and incorrect_guesses == 0 :
    print("""CONGRATULATIONS! You have figured it  all out Great work mate!!""")

I've already set up strings that record correct and incorrect guesses for the answers

Right now my code will execute the code and print if the correct guesses equal to 5 but if I get a single guess wrong it will not display, any help?

You need to reset the counter every time the answer is wrong. The structure can look like this:

game_is_running = True # we run the game as long as this is True
counter = 0
while game_is_running:
  was_correct = ask_question() # ask_question() is a function that prints the question and check if it was answered correctly. It correct, return True otherwise return False
  if was_correct: # if the answer was correct, we increase the counter
    counter += 1
  else: # if it was false, we reset it to 0 (we need 5 IN A ROW, right?)
    counter = 0
  if counter == 5: # if we had 5 correct answers in a row, we print and then the game is finished
    print("CONGRATULATIONS! You have figured it all out! Great work mate!!")
    game_is_running = False
