Zachary Jordan you're pretty close so don't worry, I think the question confused you more then the code itself.. Here is a working example of the code.

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

The question asked you to print Value is out of bounds! in the catch block. The other Console.WriteLine was fine to leave outside the try catch block.

If you're still confused on what is happening let me know and I'm happy to go into more detail.
