Help needed. Used a switch statement in try catch block which worked but the error message wouldn't display. Thanks in advance.

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            string[] tours = { "England", "Spain", "Italy", "Portugal", "France" };

Well done!

I had a look at your challenge and thought I might ask you to have a look at this solution.

//your code goes here
Console.Write(tours[choice]);

Because you have an existing list of countries & an integer input, it makes sense to access the index of the list with the integer.

Please attach your attempt with your question so we can see what you are trying to do.

PS: I don't think you need a try /except scenario.
You could catch numbers outside the switch statements with a default statement
