685 PointsSomething wrong with my code
Treehouse keep saying "Try again!". There no errors in my code.
Someone who knows what i did wrong?
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
var entry = Console.ReadLine();
try
{
var times = int.Parse(entry);
int i = 0;
while (true)
{
i += 1;
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
if (i == times)
{
break;
}
}
}
catch (FormatException)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
}
}
}
}

Courses Plus Student 6,415 PointsHmmm, indeed there's nothing wrong with it, it would work just fine, but perhaps the challenge is actually expecting you to use a for loop? (in fact that would be the best loop to use in this situation, even though using while works too)

685 PointsThanks for the response. I had to make a for loop.

Courses Plus Student 6,415 PointsI just checked the challenge and passed using for, just to be sure you're still in step 2 right? because step 3 asks for something you haven't done in your code, to check if the number entered is negative or not.
