Did you initialize the SideLength field with the value in the constructor?

I am stuck at this point. I have tried initializing the SideLength field without success

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(4)
            {

            }

        }
}

hello,

almost there! in the example shown, the SideLength field is not being initialized in the constructor. Hint: it's shown in the Polygon constructor.
