namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Square : Polygon { public double SideLength { get; private set; } public double factor { get; set; } public double Area => SideLength*SideLength;

    public Square(double sideLength) : base(4)
    {
        SideLength = sideLength;
    }

    public double Scale => SideLength*factor;

}

} Steven Ok i passed the challenge, but i feel like scale isnt even a method anymore.

I'm surprised this passed because you are right, that's not a method but a property. Plus it references an undefined "factor".

To keep it a method, it needs to keep the parameter declaration in the parentheses that it had originally. Plus the original code modifies "SideLength" using a different operator, which this code should do also.
