Final code challenge in Basic C# won't compile. Suspect that it's my use of Int32.Parse. Any suggestions?

I tried a function I found in Stack called Int32.Parse but that isn't compiling.

Program.cs 
using System;

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

            int number = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

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

You did a great job researching! Most students probably won't do that but as a programmer you should be researching a lot. But, you forgot to use curly braces for the for loop! Try this:

using System;

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

            int number = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

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

Hope this helps! ~Alex
