Program.cs(16,20): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `FormatExeption' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference? Why?:) What can I do? Thank you very much!

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
int number = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
for(int i = 0; i < number; i++)
try
{
number = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine()) ;

231,236 PointsYou got most of the parts there, but it looks like you have a few issues:
- FormatException must be spelled with a "c"
- you accidentally placed your try...catch blocks in between your for and its block
- since you assign number inside the try now, you won't assign it where you declare it
- the catch is not (and will not be) inside the loop, so you'll need a return instead of a continue
Fix those up and you should be good.
