using System; int value = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

    Console.WriteLine("Value is out of bounds!");
}

Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You entered {0}",value));

Don't remove any of the code originally provided.

The entire "if" statement wth the following code block should be enclosed in the "try" block.
