Is there a loop that will perform on how many times you tell it to?

IS there a loop that you can give an int and it will execute that many times?

Program.cs 
using System;

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

            string entry = Console.ReadLine();

            int times = int.Parse(entry);

            if(times)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
            }





        }
    }
}

Yes, you need to use a for loop.

Basic format of a for loop is like so...

for(int i = 1; i <= times; i++)
{
    statements you want to execute
}

You need to do exactly what I have shown in my first response and add the command to print the string Yay! to the screen inside the braces.

for(int i = 1; i <= times; i++)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
}

So how could I write it in respect to the program. To write it as many times as the user wants
