Any idea what is wrong with this code?

There seems to be no compiler issues when previewing errors. Any thoughts?

Program.cs 
using System;

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

            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");

            var entry = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

            for (var timesPrinted = 0; timesPrinted < entry; entry += 1)

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

        }
    }
}

:point_right: You seem to have an error in the for loop construction:

You wrote:

   for (var timesPrinted = 0; timesPrinted < entry; entry += 1)

Notice that you initialize timesPrinted to 0, but then you increment entry. You probably want to increment timesPrinted.
