8,496 PointsDid you use the 'base' keyword after the Square constructor to call the Polygon constructor?
I cant seem to get past this error. It keeps asking: "Did you use the 'base' keyword after the Square constructor to call the Polygon constructor?" I did use the base keyword but I must be using it wrong. Any suggestions?
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)
{
SideLength = sideLength;
}
}
}

before base
.
Instead of passing in NumSides
, try passing in 4
to initialize NumSides
to 4
.
