617 PointsI am having an issue with the try catch exception, and also It only accepts -- to INCREASE the times it prints. Help?
Please help me.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ")
string userInput = Console.ReadLine();
while(numbers >=1)
{
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
numbers --;
}
try
{
int numbers= int.Parse(userInput);
}
catch(FormatException)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
continue;
}
}
}
}

231,222 PointsI see a few issues at first glance:
- you should convert the input into a number before the output loop that uses it
- you won't need "continue" in the catch block, that's only used inside loops
