Bummer!Try again!

Question

It doesn't show any errors, but it says "Bummer! Try again!" when I try to submit.
```Program.cs
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            string input = Console.ReadLine();
        try
        {
        var redo = int.Parse(input);

while (redo != 0) 
                    {
                               Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                                 redo -= 1;
                }
        }
        catch (FormatException)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
        }
        catch (OverflowException)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("You must enter a positive number.");
        }
    }
}
}
```

Hey there,
OverflowException doesn't catch negative numbers. Here's the Documentation (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y3d0kef1.aspx).
To solve and prevent a negative entry, you need to use an if statement inside of the try block.
Give it another go with that in mind.
If you're still stuck, you can have a look at other posts in the Community (https://teamtreehouse.com/community/code-challenge:10452) for this challenge.
