C# BASIC FINAL PART 1

I am not sure how to initialize the loop for when count is less than userInput. This should add one to the count depending on the userInput value in the else statement, then use count to go through the loop for another check?

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            var count = 0;
            while (true)
            {
                Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");
                var input = Console.ReadLine();
                var inputTimes = int.Parse(input);

                if (inputTimes <= count)
                {
                    Console.Write("That is not enough for a Yay");
                    continue;
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.Write("Yay!")
                    count = count + 1;
                }
            }
         }
    }
}

The loop should start after the input.

The prompt and input will only occur one time, so that part should not be inside the loop.

Also, the challenge is very picky about output messages. Only output what the instructions ask for specifically. Save the creative explorations for the workspace.
