This is your homework: so I'll give you no code!

But this is pretty simple, if you read your notes from the last lesson.
There are two sections to this:
1) Ask the user how many times to print the message, and get the response as a number.
2) Loop that many times to print the message.

Now, I'm pretty sure you can print a message, and I'm reasonably sure you have been told how to read a response. Converting that to a number isn't complicated either: Int32.TryParse Method (String, Int32) (System)[^] will do it for you.

So all you need to to is a For loop. Again, that's simple: For...Next Statement (Visual Basic) | Microsoft Docs[^] - there are examples at the bottom of the page which pretty much do exactly what you want!
