Final Challenge C#

Hey guys and girls, I am having trouble with the Final challenge task 1. Can someone tell me what is wrong in my code?

Thanks.

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {

            int entry = Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");;
            while (entry == 5) {
            Console.WriteLine("Yay!" + " Yay!" + " Yay!" + " Yay!" + " Yay!");

            }

        }
    }
}

You are only handling the scenario when entry is 5. You need to be able to handle different entries a user may input. If you're comfortable with it, I would suggest using a for loop that iterates depending on how many times the user input. Let me know if you need more help!

Hey Jon, I understand what you are saying. However, I just have a really hard time writing the code down for that matter, even though I know i need to use a loop that iterates depending on the entry of the user. Could you please give me some more help?

Thanks, GamingWithHan

Of course! I reviewed the challenge and all you need to do is print out "Yay!" the number of times a user inputs. Check out this shell of code:

var entry = Console.ReadLine();
var numTimes = 0;

int.TryParse(entry, out numTimes);

for(int i = 0; i < ; i++)
{

}

I left the body of the for loop blank and the i < blank so you can give it a shot. I do use TryParse instead of Parse to help handle invalid inputs but I don't think it's required in this challenge. Hope it helps, but let me know if you need more.
