7,436 PointsAccessor Method Challenge
Frog.cs(10,19): error CS1014: A get or set accessor expected
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
This is the error message I'm getting. I'd appreciate some insight.
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
private int _numFliesEaten;
public int NumFliesEaten
{
public GetNumFliesEaten()
{
return _numFlieEaten;
}
public void SetNumFliesEaten(NumFliesEaten value)
{
_numFliesEaten = value;
}
}
}

- on line 8 you appear to still have the original "NumFliesEaten" definition (but without the ";")
- on line 9 you have an open brace starting a unneeded block that is never closed
- on line 10 you forgot to indicate the return type of GetNumFliesEaten()
- on line 12 you spelled "_numFlieEaten" without an "s"
- on line 15 you used "NumFliesEaten" as the type of "value" (which should probably be int)

231,198 PointsThis challenge is about accessor methods for fields.
The keywords "get" and "set" refer to properties which will be discussed in a later video.

7,436 PointsI went ahead and double checked my brackets, then swapped the "GetNumFliesEaten" and "SetNumFliesEaten" terms for "get" and "set". I actually corrected the brackets prior to posting my code because the "unexpected symbol: }" error popped.
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
private int _numFliesEaten;
public int NumFliesEaten
{
get
{
return _numFlieEaten;
}
set
{
_numFliesEaten = value;
}
}
}
//On to the get and set methods, after i changed the methods to
// simply "get" and "set", it came up with this exception:
Frog.cs(22,246): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol `end-of-file'
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
Then i added a '}'
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
private int _numFliesEaten;
public int NumFliesEaten
{
get
{
return _numFlieEaten;
}
set
{
_numFliesEaten = value;
}
}
}
}
//Now this exception:
Frog.cs(12,17): error CS0103: The name `_numFlieEaten' does not exist in the current context
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

7,436 PointsThanks. Here is my revised code. Unfortunately, It still isn't passing.

231,198 PointsYou're almost there.
In task 1, you were supposed to change NumFliesEaten into a private field. You created the private field, but you forgot to remove the public one.
On line 15 you added "int", but you forgot to remove "NumFliesEaten".
