880 PointsAm I doing it right?
I'm on the final task of the C# Basics course (woohoo!) and I would like to be told whether or not I am on the right track to finishing this.
EDIT I'll finish this later on maybe
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
try
{
// code goes here
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int count = int.Parse(input);
if(input <= 0)
{
Console.Write(input + " You must enter a positive number.");
continue;
}
else if(input >= 1)
{
Console.Write(input
}
int i = 0;
while(i < count)
{
i += 1;
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}
}
catch (FormatException) // The catch block should catch FormatException exceptions
{
//Inside of the catch block, output to the console the message "You must enter a whole number."
Console.Write("You must enter a whole number.");
}
}
}
}

Though you have converted the input into a number ("count"), there are a couple of lines where the original string ("input") is being compared with a number.
And this statement appears to be incomplete:
Console.Write(input
It's also not clear why anything would be output at that point in the program.
Third, there's a "continue" statement but it's not inside a loop (they are only allowed in loops).
And finally, one of the output messages is different from what the instructions asked for.

Anyway, the challenge don't tell you to add an if/else if statement - remove it.
Other than that it looks fine - try remember to indent your code to make it more readable :-)
