C# C# Objects Inheritance Catching Exceptions

try/catch

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.

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

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

The catch block looks good. But you also need to add a try block. You need to wrap the part of the code that will be throwing the exception in the try block.
