Bummer! Did you add a catch block to handle the thrown exception?

Getting the above error when I wrote the catch block, what am I missing?

Program.cs 
int value = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

if (value < 0 || value > 20)
{
    throw new System.Exception();
}

try
{
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You entered {0}",value));
}
catch(Exception)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Value is out of bounds!");
}

Hey Staci,

You've got it except for one thing: You need to also include the if statement inside of the try block. So just move the try { to include that and the rest is all good. :)

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

Ah, knew I was missing something small.

Thanks!
