I entered "25" but nothing was printed out. Make sure to write the message to the console.

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

try 
{
    if (value >0 && value <20) 
    {

        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You entered {0}",value));
    }
}
catch(Exception)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Value is out of bounds");
}

Hey,

The if statement value is false, because 25 is larger than 0, but also larger than 20. Make it like: value < 30 and it will log "You entered 25" to the console.

:point_right: It looks like you changed some of the original code.

For this challenge, you will only add to the original code. It's important to leave the original code lines intact. The throw statement you removed is critical to the proper function of your added try/catch blocks. And as Gregor pointed out, moving the value response statement changes the conditions where it would be displayed.

Otherwise, your code looks good except that the challenges are very particular about returned strings, so you need to leave the exclamation point in the string "Value is out of bounds!".
