826 PointsTry/Catch assignment error
Hi
My assignment here is to enclose a given WriteLine statement in a try/catch. The error I get everytime is "Did you add a catch block ?" Here is my code
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!"); }
There is clearly a catch block and that is why I am confused
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!");
}
