I tried following the tips in other posts, but the code below says that there is no where to break; or continue;
What is wrong?
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
var entry = Console.ReadLine();
try
{
for(var i = 0; i < int.Parse(entry); i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}
}
catch(FormatException)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
continue;
}
}
}
}

I'm not sure if you've got this figured yet, but if you don't...
I would suggest not using a for loop. If you use a while loop, you don't need to worry about continue or break.
For the 1st part of the challenge, this code will pass. Hopefully it makes sense.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
var entry = System.Console.ReadLine();
var numberTimes = int.Parse(entry);
var i = 0;
while ( i < numberTimes )
{
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
i += 1;
}
}
}
}
Keep Coding!
