19,991 PointsI don't understand why I have a compiler error.
I have a compiler error stating something about needing a "call" and I don't understand why. What is my code lacking?
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Course
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public int TeacherId { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public int Length { get; set; }
public Teacher Teacher { get; set; }
}
}
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Teacher
{
public Courses ()
{
Courses = new List<Course>();
}
public int Id { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public ICollection<Course> Courses { get; set; }
}
}

But the actual issue is the constructor name. Constructors must have the same name as the class itself, but here in the "Teacher" class the constructor is named "Courses". Just change that to "Teacher" and you should pass the challenge.
