Game.cs(7,17): warning CS0219: The variable `tower' is assigned but its value is never used

Game.cs(13,15): warning CS0219: The variable `area' is assigned but its value is never used

I get this error when I try to compile the program, can anyone help?

namespace TreehouseDefence

{

class Game

{
    public static void Main()

    {

      Tower tower = new Tower();

      Map map = new Map();

      map.width = 8;

      map.height = 5;

      int area = map.width * map.height;

    }

}

}

Hi there! To be clear, you are not getting errors, you are are getting warnings. There's a difference here. And the warning is saying exactly what it means. You've declared a variable named tower but haven't used it. If you take a look at 3:29 of the video linked to this challenge, you'll see that the line with tower is not present. Now, this might happen in a later video, but as of right now, it is not used.

Again, this is just a warning. It's just letting you know that you've declared a variable you haven't actually used. But that doesn't mean you won't use it later :smiley:

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
