Hi, my code doesnt work. Getting error error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type int' tobool'

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Program { static void Main() {

        Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");

        //var total = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
        int userInput = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());


        for (int i = 0;i = userInput;i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
        }

    }
}

}

Hey, your problem is in the For Loop.

for( int i = 0 ( here u say from where to start) ; i < userInput (here you say where to end) ; i++ ( here you increment the i variable with 1 everytime). )

You can't compare bool statement with just a variable.

Try it this way :

for (int i = 0;i < userInput;i++) { Console.WriteLine("Yay!"); }

Hi Radoslaw,

I think the problem seems to be the second clause in your for statement -

You have i = userinput; which is an instruction to assign userInput to the variable i.

What you need instead is a condition - e.g.

i < userInput;

(which will return true or false - which is why the error mentions bool).

So your full for statement would read as 

    for (int i = 0;i < userInput;i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
        }`

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for you assistance. I thought the problem is Convert.ToInt method - error line was pointing to it.
