Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 11,145 PointsTry/catch error is not making sense
error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `catch'.
What am I doing wrong?
int value = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
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!");
}

Also, be careful about where the braces are placed.

if (value < 0 || value > 20)
I get this error:
I entered "2" but nothing was printed out. Make sure to write the message to the console.
