using System; namespace Treehouse.FitnessFrog { class Program { static void Main() { int runningTotal = 0; bool keepGoing = true;
while (keepGoing)
{
//prompt the user for minutes exercised
Console.Write("enter how many minutes you exercised or type \"quit\" to exit: ");
string entry = Console.ReadLine();
if (entry == "quit")
{
keepGoing = false;
}
else
{
try
{
int minutes = int.Parse(entry);
if (minutes <= 0)
{
Console.WriteLine(entry + "is not an acceptable value.");
continue;
}
else if(minutes <= 10)
{
Console.WriteLine("Better than nothing, am I right?");
}
else if(minutes <= 30)
{
Console.WriteLine("Way to go hot stuff!");
}
else if (minutes <= 60)
{
Console.WriteLine("You must be a ninja warrior in training!");

Console.WriteLine("Okay, now you're just showing off!");

catch(FormatException)

7,666 PointsIn your example 'catch' is INSIDE 'try' because you position the '}' wrong. try and catch should have separate open and closing curly brackets.
'catch' code block could also be after the runningTotal block. Like this:
My program looks like this:
Hope this could help.
