C# C# Objects Inheritance Throwing Exceptions

Posted by Collin Bowdoin

My console outputs an error pinpoint at (10, 55) when my program only has 5 lines of code.

I am doing a Challenge Task, and I keep getting an error, with the hint telling me to check my console. The console tells me that value (the integer I'm using In this) is not positioned correctly, or something like that, but it also tells me that the error is located at (10, 55). My program only has 5 lines of code, with none of them being long enough to extend to the next line, which is making it impossible to tell where the error is.

Program.cs 
try {
    int value = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
} catch(Exception) {
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You entered {0}",value));
}

The challenge internally uses some boilerplate code that is throwing off the error position in the compiler output.

But the important thing is that for this challenge, you only need to test the value and throw the exception. You won't need "try" or "catch" for this one.
