Use the syntactic sugar just learned about to convert the Scale method to a single line method. Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task. Restart Preview Get Help Check Work Square.cs Polygon.cs

:point_right: just do what you did in step 1 again.

It's basically just replacing the first brace with "=>" and removing the second brace.

There's a good example of this at about time index 01:58 of the Expression Bodied Members video.

I tried this step and I got this error

"Did you convert the method to a single-lined, expression bodied method?"

Is there a new Move method we need to change for the task, thanks!

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Square : Polygon { public double SideLength { get; private set; }

    public double Area => SideLength * SideLength;


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

    public void Scale(double factor)
    {
        SideLength *= factor;
    }
}

}

thanks steven
