998 PointsDid you define your Square class as an inner class of the Polygon class? Be sure to define the Square class before ?
What Am i doing wrong?
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Square : Polygon;
{
public Square(int numSides, int sideLength) base: 4;
SideLength = sideLength;
}
class Polygon
{
public readonly int NumSides;
public readonly int SideLength;
public Polygon(int numSides)
{
NumSides = numSides;
}
}
}

1,502 PointsSwitch it around. Define the Polygon class first then the Square since Square class is a sub class of Polygon.

231,198 PointsHere's a few hints:
- define "Square" after "Polygon"
- there should not be a semicolon on the "class" line
- you still need to create the readonly field named "SideLength"
- the colon goes before the word "base"
- the argument to "base" should be in parentheses
- the body of the constructor should be enclosed by a pair of braces
