This should provide more info

In this code challenge it does not provide enough information such us what type should the property syntax should be or ... I'm completely wrong with my code. If that is the outcome than could you tell me the places where I went wrong.

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        private int _numFliesEaten;

        public _numFliesEaten{get;set;}
    }
}

It's asking you to convert what was provided to the auto property version. Properties naming convention is Upper Camel Case so it wants you to change it like so: 

    public class Frog
    {
        public int NumFliesEaten { get; set; }
    }

So you were very close, just need to remove one of them. Although I agree after going through the challenge the directions are a bit vague.

Well, there are a few bits if information you can infer:

  • the challenge asks you to convert, so you can assume the property will have the same type (int)
  • because you are converting, you can also expect to remove the original field
  • the challenge specifically indicates the name of the new property is "NumFliesEaten"

Fix those and you should have it.
