You should create a counting variable. Whenever the user answers incorrectly,
increment that variable by one. Starting with the fourth question and any
question after, you should check the value of the variable to see if it is
three or greater. If it is, then exit, if not, then continue. Check only
beginning with the fourth question, because at the start of the first three
questions, it would not be possible to already have three incorrect answers.
