1,703 PointsI keep getting an error that says this "No enclosing loop out of which to break or continue"
I keep getting this error on this code challenge and have no idea how to fix it or what to do.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
try
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int count = int.Parse(input);
if(count <= 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a positive number.");
}
else
{
int i = 0;
while(i < count)
{
i += 1;
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}
catch(FormatException)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
}
}
}
}

Courses Plus Student 15,510 PointsSo new to the site, I've been posting 'answers' as 'comments' ... second time's a charm!
I just realised I can click the 'view challenge' :) With the code they have there as a template, this is how I'd handle the challenge (although not how I'd do it in an actual app)
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
try {
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
string input = Console.ReadLine();
int count;
bool isNum = Int32.TryParse(input, out count);
if(isNum) {
int i = 0;
while(i < count)
{
i += 1;
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}
} else throw new FormatException();
} catch (FormatException) {
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
}
}
}
}
Best of luck,
Dave.

Courses Plus Student 15,510 PointsHi Kendall,
If that is a copy and paste of your code ... I can say that you're missing a couple of closing braces '}' and some indentation (for readability).
Let's hope that's all it is :) Best of luck,
Dave.
