8,207 PointsCatching Exceptions
This is the prompt. "Here's how I wrote the code. Now wrap the testing logic with a try/catch and write the message "Value is out of bounds!" to the console if the exception is caught."
it never gets to the catch part. I believe my conditions are right but it keeps running the code in the brackets of the if statement instead of going to the catch
int value = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
try
{
if (value > 0 && value < 20)
{
Console.WriteLine("you entered " + value);
}
}
catch(System.Exception)
{
Console.WriteLine("Value is out of bounds!");
}

8,775 PointsOne thing I noticed is your "&&" (which means and), should that not be "||" (which means or)?
Here are my edits:
int value = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
try
{
if (value > 0 || value < 20)
{
throw new System.Exception();
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You entered {0}",value));
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Value is out of bounds!");
}
