I am supposed to print "Yay!" however many times the user asks me to. I'm stuck at the while loop? Please help.

How do I print a line multiple times?

you need two variables; one holding the number how many times the user asks to print 'yay!' and another variable holding the answer then

don't forget to intParse the answer.

while number > 0

print yay!

number -= 1

count += 1

As mentioned by Lukas you will need to create a separate int variable to maintain the number of loops. Once the number of loops exceeds number of expected "Yay!"s then you need to exit the loop.

Here is the code:

number = int.Parse(entry); // parse the user input, you will need to do this inside a "try" statement so catch any exceptions

var numOfLoops = 1; // start by processing the first loop

while (numOfLoops <= number)
{
     Console.WriteLine("Yay!"); // Write one "Yay!" for this loop
     numOfLoops++; // increment by one, if <= number then the while will be complete
}
