The way the loop is constructed, it will always output one time before testing the count. So imagine if the number entered was 0. When you re-arrange how the testing is done, you might want to consider placing the test in the conditional part of the while statement itself.

Also, the instructions don't ask for the count to be printed, that could cause trouble with the validation.
