C# basics final code should be right, right?

The final ask for a prompt inout from the user to print "Yay!" as many times as it says to print it. I'm pretty sure my code is right but it says it can't run it. Can anyone help?

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Program { static void Main() { Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": "); int yay = 0; string yay2 = "Yay!";

        while(true)
        {
            if(yay != 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(yay2);
                yay -=1;
            }
            else
            {
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

}

This is my code so far.

Hey Patrick, It looks like maybe you are missing a closing bracket? Aside from that your code should work. You could clean it up a bit by just using the value of yay as your while loop boolean.

while(yay > 0){
    Console.WriteLine(yay2);
    yay --;
}
