I am not sure how the set method is working or why its not working.
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
private int _numFliesEaten;
public int GetNumFliesEaten
{
get{return _numFliesEaten; }
}
public int SetNumFliesEaten
{
set{_numFliesEaten; }
}
}
}

You've almost got the right idea, but your issue is that you're mixing properties with accessor methods. You shouldn't use the get and set keywords in methods like that. Additionally your set method is written to return an int, but you're not actually returning anything. Here's a look at the difference between the two:
Property Example:
private int _myValue;
public int MyValue
{
get { return _myValue; }
set { _myValue = value; }
}
Accessor Method Example:
private int _myValue;
public int GetMyValue()
{
return _myValue;
}
public void SetMyValue(int value)
{
_myValue = value;
}
Take another look at how Jeremy does it in the video. Hopefully these examples helped.
