7,388 PointsYou have 2 problems not counting the extra console.Writeline.
The first is Console.ReadLIne() should be Console.ReadLine() <- Capital I is causing a compile error The 2nd issue is your for loop has while I < input but you just used int.parse to put the number into "num"
var numOfTimes = Console.ReadLine(); // <- change ReadLIne to ReadLine
int num = int.Parse(numOfTimes);
for (int i=0; i<num; i++) { // <- change input to num
Console.WriteLine("\"Yay!\"");
}
These kinds of errors happen all the time. Even with seasoned developers but we learn techniques to deal with them. For example, I scanned each line of code and looked at each command to make sure I understood what it was doing, where any variables are initialized and to check to see if they are in scope, and then to make sure everything is spelled correctly.
Keep up the good work.

It looks like you have 3 separate issues:
- You spelled "ReadLIne" with a capital "I" (it should be "ReadLine")
- Your loop compares the index to "input", but the variable storing the count is "num"
- You added a line that prints "Enter number of times to enter Yay!", but the challenge had already provided one.
Edward spotted the first two of these, but you must also fix the third one or the challenge will misinterpret it as producing the wrong count of outputs.
