I am having an issue with the try catch exception, and also It only accepts -- to INCREASE the times it prints. Help?

Please help me.

Program.cs 
using System;

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

            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ")
             string userInput = Console.ReadLine();
             while(numbers >=1)
             {
                 Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                 numbers --;
             }
            try
            {
                int numbers= int.Parse(userInput);
            }
            catch(FormatException)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
                continue;
            }

        }
    }
}

I see a few issues at first glance:

  • you should convert the input into a number before the output loop that uses it
  • you won't need "continue" in the catch block, that's only used inside loops
