Working on completing this challenge. I do not understand what I a missing to complete the creation of the class Square, and how to initialize sideLength to 4 using the Base() construct.
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(sideLength)
{
}
}
}

Then all it wants you to do is assign the "SideLength" property in the square class using the constructor and the value that has been passed to it (sideLength in this case). It should look like this:
class Square : Polygon
{
public readonly int SideLength;
public Square(int sideLength) : base(4)
{
SideLength = sideLength;
}
}
