I'm not sure why my code isn't working...

I'm learning the OOP basics in the C# language and I keep getting an Error and I don't know why. I tried everything and still doesn't understand the problem. The error: CS1601. My code: https://w.trhou.se/z1vsazp6ja

The full error text is "error CS1061: Type TreehouseDefense.Path' does not contain a definition forLength' and no extension method Length' of typeTreehouseDefense.Path' could be found." And sure enough, your code is trying to access the "Length" property on a "Path" object (named "_path") but that object has nothing by that name.

Perhaps you skipped a step in the follow-along? Or maybe there's more to come before the program is ready?

But anyway, you can easily add that property to "Path" object (in "Path.cs"):

    public int Length => _path.Length;
