The final task is about not beeing able to write a negtive number. But my error is that it doesnt print out anything when a negativ number is written.
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);
int i = 0;
while(i < count)
{
if(count < 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a positive number.");
continue;
}//if
else
{
i += 1;
Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}//else
}//try
}//while
catch(FormatException)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
}//catch
}
