The if statement in question isn't inside the while loop.  

White space and indentation is meaningful in python, so putting the if= count > 3 block at same indentation as the while statement effectively = places it outside the loop.

The part to here is supposed to be an example to allow the user to
guess at a number (7) with an infinite amount of tries.


This part was added as an exercise.
A counter is added to give 3 tries to guess the number.
It is supposed to stop after count gets to 3.  It doesn't.  It ju= st
keeps looping back and asking for another guess.
