Here is my C# coding
public string RemoveFirstSpaces (string str)
{
if(str.Length > 0)
{
while(str[0] == " ")
{
str = str.Substring(1, str.Length - 1);
if(str.Length <= 0)
{
break;
}
}
}
return str;
}
How could i break when it comes inside the if stmt..

In your current code, the only mistake is the check in the while it should be:
while (str[0] == ' ')
since str[0] is a character and currently you are comparing it with " " which is string.
Although a simpler way to remove starting space would be to use String.TrimeStart
public string RemoveFirstSpaces (string str)
{
return str.TrimStart();
}

C# loop – break vs. continue
break will exit the loop completely, continue will just skip the current iteration.
For example:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if (i == 0) {
break;
}
DoSomeThingWith(i);
}
The break will cause the loop to exit on the first iteration — DoSomeThingWith will never be executed. This here:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
if(i == 0) {
continue;
}
DoSomeThingWith(i);
}
Will not execute DoSomeThingWith for i = 0, but the loop will continue and DoSomeThingWith will be executed for i = 1 to i = 9.
Python – How to break out of multiple loops
My first instinct would be to refactor the nested loop into a function and use return to break out.

How do I break out of a loop;
My code wont pass in the second question on the last challenge
I think my code is looping without an end. Im down to one error I dont know what to do
Program.cs
using System; namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Program { static void Main() { Console.Write("Enter the number of times to print "Yay!": "); try{ string numofTimes= Console.ReadLine(); int num =int.Parse(numofTimes); for(var i=0; i<num; i++){ Console.WriteLine(""Yay!""); break; }} catch(FormatException){ Console.WriteLine("You must enter a whole number."); continue; } } } }

you don’t need the continue or the break. the continue is not in a loop so it is not doing anything. the break is causing the program to end prematurely, before all the yays have been printed. just remove the break and the continue and the code passes tasks 1 and 2.
Hi James I have tried that It still does not work

You don’t have a need for a break statement. Your program will end when ‘i’ hits the ceiling input provided from the user — the second arg in your loop. The reason the compiler complains about ‘continue’ is because ‘continue’ can only be implemented within the loop. The program is going to continue regardless. The point of the continue, within a loop, is to avoid execution upon a certain condition. Let’s take a look at an example that assumes we’re using System; and that the user entered 10 times.
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { //just for fun lets print the 7th iteration as its own thing if(i == 6) { Console.WriteLine("I'm " + (i + 1) + " and I'm hungry - I'm going to eat number " + (i + 3) ); } //now lets see the continue statement in action by skipping printing the 9 else if(i == 8) { continue; } else { Console.WriteLine("iteration: " + (i + 1)); } }
if you were to take out the if( i == 6) line each iteration would print exactly the same except for the number 9. 9 is skipped because of the continue within our conditional.
I hope this helps!!
