Unexpected symbol "bool" error in Game.cs

Here is my Game.cs code:

namespace TreehouseDefense  
{
    class Game
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
          Map map = new Map(8, 5);

          Point point = new point(4, 2)
          bool isOnMap = map.OnMap(point);
        }
    }
}

Hi there, Christopher Houston ! I received your request for assistance. Most often, when you see an "unexpected something" type error it means that something wasn't closed off properly prior to the line it says that something unexpected was found on. Such is the case here. You have inadvertently omitted the semicolon on the line prior.

You wrote:

Point point = new point(4, 2)

But you meant to write:

Point point = new point(4, 2);

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
