Please check my code that checks whether the Tower is on the Path

Here is my code 

public Tower(MapLocation location,Path path)
{
      for(int i = 0; i < path.Length; i++)
    { 
         MapLocation path_t = path.GetLocationAt(i);

          if (location.x == path_t.x && location.y == path_t.y)
     {
          throw new OutofBoundsException("Towers cannot be placed on the path");
     }
           else {   _location = location; 
                  }  
}
}

This is the constructor written for the Tower class. I just created a test object MapLocation called path_t that checked against each item in the array and initialized _location to location if it didn't match any path_t coordinates.

That looks like it will work, but you don't need to keep setting _location over and over in the loop. Just set it after the loop has finished.

Is it okay to put the 

_location = location;

statement after the for loop because wouldn't the code stop running after the exception is thrown?
