I'm struggling with dealing with local variables within loops. This has been an issue for me before this final challeng

I'm struggling to understand how to define the variable within the correct scope. Thank you.

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            double entry;
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            entry = Convert.ToInt16(Console.ReadLine());
            while(entry => count)
            {

                Console.Write("yay!");
                int count = count + 1;  
            }


        }
    }
}

First thing I noticed is that you need to change => to >= in your comparison. After that, it looks like you need to declare count outside of your while loop. Leaving it inside the while loop keeps the scope within the loop and the count that is being compared to entry is never incremented.
