7,198 PointsDoes not exist in the current context?? I don't understand where I went wrong.
I believe I am using the Try/Catch exceptions properly. Can anyone assist me with what the problem may be?
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
try
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
string input = Console.ReadLine();
counter = int.Parse(input);
}
catch(FormatException c)
{
Console.Write("You must enter a whole number.");
}
int i = 0;
while(i < counter)
{
i += 1;
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}
}
}
}

Also, you probably don't want to encounter the loop after an exception occurs, so you might want to move it into the "try" block.
