Task 1 is no longer passing

In the workspace it works

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
         bool keepGoing = true;  
          while(true)
          {
            if (keepGoing == false){

              break;

            }
          Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
            string input = Console.ReadLine();
            try 
            {

            int count = int.Parse(input);

                if (count <= 0)
                {

                  Console.WriteLine("You must enter a positive number.");

                    continue;   

                }

            int i = 0;
            while(i < count)
            {
                i += 1;   
                Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
                keepGoing = false;

            }

            }
            catch(FormatException)
            {

                Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number.");
                continue;

            }

          }

        }
    }
}

It appears that you have added an extra loop that prevents the program from ending if bad values are entered..

A program that follows the challenge instructions will only ask for input one time, and either print "Yay!"s or an error message. But either way it should end.
