Courses Plus Student 22,106 PointsI do not know how to do this challenge. I tried doing this but the warning said -" cannot implicitly convert string int"
The question is to print "yay!" and the user is asked how many ties should we print "yay!"
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
string number = Console.ReadLine();
int number1 = int.Parse(number);
int numberone = 0;
bool cycle = true;
while (cycle == true) {
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
numberone = number + 1;
if (numberone > number1) {
break;
}
}
}
}
}

Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsHi Soma Singh you're getting the "cannot implicitly convert string int" error because of this line
numberone = number + 1;
The correct variable to be used for the calculation in your program is supposed to be number1. number is a string, not an integer.
Once this mistake is fixed, you won't be getting the implicit conversion error anymore, however, you still need to make some adjustment to the while loop in order to pass the challenge.
happy coding.

Courses Plus Student 22,106 Pointshere is the question - This final code challenge will require you to use almost everything we've covered in this course. You’ll write a program to celebrate completing this course by printing “Yay!” to the screen a given number of times. Write a program that: Prompts the user to enter the number of times to enter “Yay!”. I've done this for you. Leave this as it is. Prints “Yay!” to the screen that number of times (Hint: You’ll need a loop for this. You’ll also need to keep track of how many times the loop has run). You can print them all on the same line or on separate lines.
