Stuck with final challenge

I am asked to write a piece of code that prints "yay!" the amount of times the user enters. Furthermore I need to keep track of how many times the loop runs.

I have this code as my starting point but i'm not sure how to aproach it.

using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Program { static void Main() { Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");

    }
}

}

Program.cs 
using System;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print \"Yay!\": ");

        }
    }
}

There's a few steps to this task:

  • create a variable for counting in a loop
  • do something to input the user's answer to the question (perhaps using ReadLine)
  • convert the answer into a number and store it to use as a counter (maybe using int.Parse)
  • create a loop to repeat the number of times given.
  • inside this loop, write out the string "Yay!".

Once you get past task 1, here are a few more hints for passing task 2.
