using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Program { static void Main() { Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": "); var input = System.Console.ReadLine(); int timesToPrint = int.Parse(input);

            int i = 0;
            if (i > timesToPrint)
              {
                System.Console.Write("Yay!");
                i++;
              }
            else
              break;


    }
}

I actually figured it out. Was trying to use the break keyword outside of a loop.
