why is that wrong?

it says it didn't get what it was expecting while I copy paste the same thing

Program.cs
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {

            try { Console.Write(" Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
                     var i = 0;
                     var num = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                     while(true)
                     {
                         if(i>= num) 
                         { break; }
                         Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                         i+= 1;
                     }  
                }
                 catch(FormatException)
                 { 
                     Console.Write("You must enter a whole number."); 
                 }

        }
    }
}

I ran your code and so far it looks good to me. What error is it saying?

It looks like you altered the original Write statement.

The instructions say, "Leave this as it is.", but it looks like you added a space at the beginning before the word Enter.

Put that line back the way it was and you should pass task 2.

But what did you mean by "copy paste the same thing" .. same as what? Aren't you writing the code for this challenge for the first time?

You shouldn't have to copy/paste that. It was given in the challenge code to start with.

Anyway, just remove that extra space at the beginning of the string and you'll pass.
