C# C# Basics (Retired) Perfect Final

Final Challenge Task 3

I keep getting: Bummer! I entered -1. I expected "You must enter a positive number.", but got "You must enter a postive number." instead.

Any tips to point me in the right direction?

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Program { static void Main() {

        Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");

        var input = Console.ReadLine();

         try{
             var EnterNumber = int.Parse(input);

             if(EnterNumber <=0){
                Console.Write("You must enter a postive number.");

             } else {
                for(var i=1; i<=EnterNumber; i++){
                Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                }
             }
         }
         catch(FormatException){
            Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
         }
    }
}

}

Hi there! You simply have a spelling error. Double-check your spelling of "positive". You've accidentally written "postive". Note that your spelling is missing an "i".

Good luck and you're doing very well! :sparkles:

Wow, sorry for bugging you with that :) Thank you very much!
