comparing user input with textfile and for loop

kecik (3)
Hi. I am trying to compare what user enter with the data in my textfile. However, I am still not able to do any comparison. And on top of that, they will have only 3 tries to enter the input needed. once they exceed, the program will just end. Pls help me check. Thank you in advanced.

First, put a breakpoint on line 48 and look at the values read in from the file.

erm. there is an error when i put the breakpoint there.

I have commented out line 25 (seeing as you haven't supplied code for that), put a breakpoint on line 48, added a blank file called "list.txt" in my project folder and run the code..
I CAN get to line 48.

I assume you do have implementation for Nmember()?? If not, delete line 25.

After I put breakpoint, it just stop after the birthday is entered. It did not check.

it's meant to stop, that's why it's called a breakpoint.
When it does stop, you can flip back to your code and see the values of the variables at that point in time in the code.
