Write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of times to enter “Yay!” then print “Yay!”that amount of times

I`m sure this is pretty easy, but I would be glad to get some help with it and understand it. "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)."

Here is my Try!

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Program { static void Main() { Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": "); var numberOfTime = Console.ReadLine(); var input = int.Parse(numberOfTime);

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

    }
}

}

System.Console.Write("Enter number of times to enter Yay!"); var numOfTimes = System.Console.ReadLIne(); //in the ReadLine 'I' needs to be simple int num = int.Parse(numOfTimes); int val=0; while(true){ if (val<num){ val++ System.Console.WriteLine("At location" +val+ " Yay" );} }

But we didn't learn for loop yet. I used this: Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": "); int repeat=int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); int counter=0; while(true) { if(counter<=repeat) { Console.WriteLine("Yay!"); counter+=1; } else { Console.ReadLine(); } } But it's said: "Code is too long for lunch."

I dont have a console to try it but that should work. you might need to enter exception handlers and restrictions if you like, but below is the basic for it to run.

System.Console.Write("Enter number of times to enter Yay!");
var numOfTimes = System.Console.ReadLIne();
int num = int.Parse(numOfTimes);
for (int i=0; i<num; i++) {
     System.Console.WriteLine("\"Yay!\"");
}

Hi Mazen,

Your code was helpful, just to refactor into it, I'd say, one change, if people are copying and pasting directly from your code

System.Console.Write("Enter number of times to enter Yay!");
var numOfTimes = System.Console.ReadLIne(); //in the ReadLine 'I' needs to be simple
int num = int.Parse(numOfTimes);
for (int i=0; i<num; i++) {
     System.Console.WriteLine("\"Yay!\"");
}
