Hello, I'm trying to code a magic 8-ball program and it needs to include a counter for the number of questions asked. I'm having a hard time implementing a count, and need a little help. I had tried to implement it in the main() function, but that (naturally) led it to only counting '1' for each question, for each question asked. Is there a way to count how many times a give line of code is executed? For instance, every time the oracle() function is run, a counter goes up. Thanks for any help.
