Code took too long to run

i keep getting an error saying "Bummer! Your code took too long to run." why is that? I do not understand why I would receive this error when I am not even running this code.

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            int i = 0;
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            string numberOfYays = Console.ReadLine();

            while (i <= int.Parse(numberOfYays));
            {
                Console.Write("Yay");
                i = i ++;
        }
        }
    }
}

looks like you should just need to take the semicolon off this line 

while (i <= int.Parse(numberOfYays));
