Getting a runtime error on my Level class constructor

Hi!

I'm getting the following error:

Level.cs(9,10): error CS1520: Class, struct, or interface method must have a return type

Up to that point, my code looks like this: (Line 9 is the "public Level(Invader[] invaders)" line)

namespace TreehouseDefense
{
    class level
    {
        private readonly Invader[] _invaders;

        public Tower[] Towers { get; set; }

        public Level(Invader[] invaders)
        {
            _invaders = invaders;
        }

This looks identical to the code in the video. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Since the class is named "level" (with lower-case "l"), the method "Level" (capital "L") is not recognized as a constructor; and since normal methods must have a return type this message is generated.

Always be sure the class name and constructor name(s) are exactly the same, including case.
