why is this false?

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
         try{
                   Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
                var times = Console.ReadLine();
                 int number = Int32.Parse(times);

                int  i = 0;
                while(i != number)
                {
                    if(number<=0){
                    Console.Write("You must enter a positive number.");
                    continue;}
                    i+=1;
                    Console.WriteLine("Yay");

                }

             }
            catch(FormatException)
            {
                Console.Write("You must enter a whole number.");

            }






        }
    }
