SOLVED: Compilation error: Unexpected Symbol

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, to my knowledge this code is correct, yet I keep running into this error that I have an unexpected symbol ')' (10,39). I've removed all the parenthesis on just about every line and I am just missing it, can anyone else take a look?

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());
            int i;
            for(i=0; i< entry; i+=)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Yay!");
            }



        }
    }
}

Edit: Ok thanks, I don't know why I didn't see that one earlier

:point_right: Your for expression is incomplete.

You wrote "i+=" for the increment clause of your for expression, which is an incomplete statement.

It's not clear if you intended to write "i+=1" or "i++", but either would work.
