IS there a loop that you can give an int and it will execute that many times?
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
string entry = Console.ReadLine();
int times = int.Parse(entry);
if(times)
{
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}
}
}
}

Basic format of a for loop is like so...
for(int i = 1; i <= times; i++)
{
statements you want to execute
}

43,783 PointsYou need to do exactly what I have shown in my first response and add the command to print the string Yay! to the screen inside the braces.
for(int i = 1; i <= times; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}
