2,097 PointsI literally have no idea where to even begin with this one. I watched the video, I googled for help, nothing works
These videos are getting to be too much. "Do it this way... now delete that and do it this better way... ok delete all that and do it this even BETTER way...." Now I just have fragments of several different ways to do everything in my head and it's getting really hard to sort out.
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Square : Polygon
{
public double SideLength { get; private set; }
public Square(double sideLength) : base(4)
{
SideLength = sideLength;
}
}
}
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Polygon
{
public int NumSides { get; private set; }
public Polygon(int numSides)
{
NumSides = numSides;
}
}
}

231,198 PointsThere's always different ways to handle a given issue.
I think the videos are just trying to be sure that you've at least been exposed to the common ones and can recognize them, even if you only use the "best" ones yourself.
For this challenge, if you're totally lost, there's a good example of creating a computed property starting about time index 2:04 in this video.

2,097 PointsThanks!
I get why the videos explain things in different ways, and it is probably the best way to do things. It just gets overwhelming sometimes.
