693 PointsC# final
I am getting the message: System.ArgumentNullException. Can someone please help me debug this so I can move on. I have been working on this assignment for too long and am ready to quit.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
while (true)
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
var entry = Console.ReadLine();
var count = int.Parse(entry);
if (count <= 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a positive number.");
continue;
}
while (count > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
count--;
}
}
}
}
}

A program built according to the instructions will prompt and accept input one time, and based on the input it will either print "Yay!"s or an error mesage. Either way, it should end. With the extra loop it never ends.
