First question: based on the console "Program.cs(13,16): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `int' Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings" which line breaks?
Second question: how do I fix my code?
Thanks : )
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
int counter = 0;
var input = Console.ReadLine();
int number;
try {
Int32.TryParse(times, out number)
int times = Int32.Parse(input);
while (counter < times)
{
Console.WriteLine("\"Yay!\"");
counter ++;
}
} catch (FormatException) {
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
}
}
}
}

One reason is that you decleare the variable "times" after you using it and you already converted the string with Int32.Parse(input) to an int type :) Do you need help at task 3?

1st CATCH is wrong you have to add ref on your exception to CALL error patch or description - catch (FormatException e)
2nd you cant use empty value "number"; for example give him value 0 at the start
3rd static void Main(string[] args) its RULE

2,466 PointsHey,
I don't think Int32.TryParse(times, out number) is working. Also, could you explain why you wrote out number but never state what number is?
