1,377 PointsNeed help with this code challenge
I just can't figure out what's wrong here. I did define 'Square' as 'Polygon's' child
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Polygon
{
public readonly int NumSides;
public Polygon(int numSides = 4)
{
NumSides = numSides;
}
}
class Square : Point
{
public readonly int SideLength;
public Square (int sideLength) : base(numSides)
}
}

2,450 PointsInitialize SideLength in the Square constructor:
SideLength = sideLength;
Initialize NumSides for Polygon using the base keyword:
public Square(int sideLength) : base(4)
Remove the default initialization of numSides in the constructor for Polygon (i.e., change "numSides = 4" to "numSides").
I hope this helps. :)

1,377 PointsThere should be "Polygon" instead of "Point", but it doesn't fix the problem.
