You need to convert the number to integer.

var num = int.Parse(number)

then use this num variable for the iterations.

Example code : No more, No less. I mean really! Nothing else. Place this in your Main class and run, Then make sure to study the video again to get better understanding. 

        Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
        var numOfTimes = System.Console.ReadLine();
        int num = int.Parse(numOfTimes);
        for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\"Yay!\"");
        }
