The Polygon class represents a 2 dimensional shape. It has a public field named NumSides. Create a new type of polygon c

I can't figure what's wrong with this, any ideas?

Polygon.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public Polygon(int numSides)
    {
        NumSides = numSides;
    }
}

    class Square : Polygon
    {
        public readonly int SideLength;

        public Square(int sideLength) : base(4)
        {
            SideLength = sideLength;
        }
    }

Right code, wrong place.

You just need to put your new class inside the namespace. Otherwise, good job! :+1:

Hi Steven, I moved the curly brace from just after the code block contained in numSides to the end of the code to include in the namespace but it's still incorrect, it says: "have you deleted the polygon class?"

Sure enough, it looks like part of the original code got deleted. The code above is missing both the definition of the Polygon class and the declaration of the NumSides property. When I open the challenge fresh it has those code lines.

Be sure to add your new class without removing any of the original code.
