Challenge Task 1 of 3

This final code challenge will require you to use almost everything we've covered in this course. You’ll write a program to celebrate completing this course by printing “Yay!” to the screen a given number of times. Write a program that: Prompts the user to enter the number of times to enter “Yay!”. I've done this for you. Leave this as it is. Prints “Yay!” to the screen that number of times (Hint: You’ll need a loop for this. You’ll also need to keep track of how many times the loop has run). You can print them all on the same line or on separate lines. Bummer! The prompt should print: Enter the number of times to print "Yay!": Preview Get Help Reset Code Recheck work Program.cs

Here's a solution that would work.

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 counter=0;

            while (counter < total)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                counter ++ ;
            }

        }
    }
}
