Courses Plus Student 1,047 PointsCode does not compile - error CS0029
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Program { static void Main() { Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
int number = Console.ReadLine();
for(int i = 0; i<= number; i++);
{
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}
}
}
} This is my code, but it doesn't compile because of a warning and an error that I don't understand. Help please!!

31,722 PointsConsole.ReadLine() returns a string, and you are assigning that value to an integer variable.
Try this
int number = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
