Is there anything wrong with my code

Please check , I am returning a double

RightTriangle.cs 
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class RightTriangle
    {
        public static double CalculateHypotenuse ( double x , double y)
        {
           return (double)Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(x,2) + (Math.Pow(y,2));
        }

    }
}

You have an unnecessary opening parenthesis in your code, right before "Math.Pow(y,2)". If you remove it like this:

using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class RightTriangle
    {
        public static double CalculateHypotenuse ( double x , double y)
        {
           return (double)Math.Sqrt(Math.Pow(x,2) + Math.Pow(y,2));
        }

    }
}

Then your code will pass. Though it's also worth mentioning that casting the result of "Math.Sqrt" to double is redundant and unnecessary, since that function returns a double on its own.
