Here is the mended code. Actually what was the second question?

using System;

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

               int count = int.Parse(input);
               if( count < 0)
              {
                Console.Write("You must enter a positive number.");
              }
              else
              { 
                int i = 0;
               while(i < count)
               {
                 i += 1;   
                 Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
               }
              }
            } 
              catch(FormatException)
              {
                Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
              }
            }
        }
}
