Code Challenge Error .

I am confused as to why this is not working. The code challenge 2 says that if the user enters any numbers in decimals, the output should be "Please enter a whole number " which worked and then i moved on to Challenge 3 where it wanted me the code to output "Please enter positive number " if the user enters a negative number like -1 or something . I coded on VS and it works fine with all the different situations but when i click on check work it says that "It looks like task two is no longer working " . The code is the same and it works on VS . Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

Program.cs 
using System;

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

            try
            {
                int Number = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                if (Number<0 )
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("You must enter a positive number.");
                }

                while (Number > 0)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Yay");
                    Number--;
                }

            }
            catch (FormatException)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Please enter a whole number ");

            }

        }
    }
}

Hi Rahul,

I just was able to successfully complete the challenge with your code, but I got a feedback on stage 2 that told me that the warning should be "You must enter a whole number.", rather than "Please enter a whole number."

After correcting this, I was able to complete all 3 tasks in the challenge.

Hope that helps,

Regards,

Nathan W

Thanks Nathan , That was really silly of me . I have been working on Visual Studio and had a different wording there :)
