This is my code below for the table of 2. How can I break the loop so that the user has no more than five tries to guess the correct answer or number.
Thanks!

int main (){

	int i = 1;
	int ans;
	while(i<=10)
	{
		cout<<"What is 2 times " <<i <<endl;
		cin>>ans;

		
		if(ans !=i*2)
		
			cout<<"Try again" <<endl;
		
		else i++;
		
		
	}

	
return 0;
}

Hints:

Another int variable
An if statement
A break statement

int main (){

	int i = 1; //may need to make another counter variable.
	int ans;
	while(i<=10)
	{
		cout<<"What is 2 times " <<i <<endl;
		cin>>ans;

		/*******Change this if statement to a while loop*********/
		//initialize any new variables
		if(ans !=i*2) //while(ans!=i*2&&SomeOtherCondition){
		
			cout<<"Try again" <<endl;
			/*add the following lines*/
			//cout<<"What is 2 times " <<i <<endl;
			//cin>>ans;
			//increment any new variables
		//}
		
		else i++; //Will no longer need else.  just i++;
		/********************************************************/
		
		
	}

	
return 0;
}

Also, you have to reset the tries counter if the user corrects the guess. So the user gets another five tries for the next guess...
