27,419 PointsHi Amit,
It is because your 'int i=1;
' is in the wrong place:
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
string entry = Console.ReadLine();
try {
int num = int.Parse(entry);
if (num<=0) {
Console.WriteLine("It has to be a positive number");
} else {
int i = 1;
while (i<=num)
{
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
i=i+1;
}
/* // Or use a for loop
for (int i=0; i<num; i++) {
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}
*/
}
} catch(Exception) {
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a Whole Number");
}
}
}
}
