C# C# Basics (Retired) Perfect Final

C# Basics final challenge question

This won't compile, but in visual studio it does. I noticed other solutions were quite a bit more thorough than mine, but the challenge didn't ask for any validation or exception handling at all. Ive posted this message before, and have gotten some responses, but Im wondering why this won't work. Can someone help and maybe show me their solution so I can compare what Im doing wrong?

Thanks Chris

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            var input = Console.ReadLine();
            var counter = Convert.ToInt32(input);
            var count = 1;

            while (count <= counter)
            {
                Console.Write("Yah!");
                count++;

            }

Hi there! Your code is just fine thus far. It's your spelling that's a little off. They want you to print "Yay!", but you're printing "Yah!". If I change that "h" to a "y", your code passes the first step!

Note: these challenges are very exacting and generally require that the output match to the letter. This includes spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and even spacing.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
