Could someone explain why my code is not working?
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Square : Polygon
{
public double SideLength { get; private set; }
public double Area;
public Square(double sideLength) : base(4)
{
SideLength = sideLength;
Area = SideLength * SideLength;
}
}
}
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Polygon
{
public int NumSides { get; private set; }
public Polygon(int numSides)
{
NumSides = numSides;
}
}
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! It's because you need a read only getter with no setter. Take a look:
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Square : Polygon
{
public double SideLength { get; private set; }
public double Area { get;}
public Square(double sideLength) : base(4)
{
SideLength = sideLength;
Area = SideLength * SideLength;
}
}
}
Hope this helps!
