Take a look at my code. Compare the differences and maybe re-watch the videos.

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            try
            {                
                int input = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                if(input <= 0)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("You must enter a positive number.");
                }
                for(int i = 0; i < input; i++)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                }
            }
            catch(FormatException)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
            }           
        }
    }
}
