Stuck. Please help.

I have added continue; to loop around, but error message says, "No enclosing loop out of which to break to or continue".

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            var entry = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

            if(entry<=0) {
                Console.WriteLine( entry + "You must enter a whole number.");
                continue;
            }

            for(var i = 0; i<entry; i++) {
                Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
            }

        }
    }
}

What for? You're not looping anything, you're simply checking whether the input of the user is less than or greater than 0. If you remove the "continue;" it should pass the challenge just fine

You could also place the following lines into a while loop:

Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": "); var entry = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        if(entry<=0) {
            Console.WriteLine( entry + "You must enter a whole number.");
            continue;
        }
