C# C# Objects Inheritance Catching Exceptions

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!"

I couldn't find what is wrong here! can Anyone help me please?

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(System.Exception)
{
  Console.WriteLine("Value is out of bounds!");

}

Move the throw call in to the try block, and if it is thrown (when the value is less than 0 or greater than 20) it will be caught by the catch block and that block will run.

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

try{
    if (value < 0 || value > 20)
    {
        throw new System.Exception();
    }
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You entered {0}",value));
}
catch(System.Exception)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Value is out of bounds!");
}
