Confused on Coding Challenge

Just confused on what I am supposed to do... no compiler errors just saying that I need to make a new Square out of the Polygon class but I thought I did that?

Polygon.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Polygon
    {
        public readonly int NumSides;

        public Polygon(int numSides)
        {
            NumSides = numSides;
        }
    }

    class Square : Polygon
    {
      public readonly int SideLength;

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

You are very close! Remember that the : base only need an integer (4) and nothing else!
