Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 4,925 PointsWhat is wrong with the code below that I'm getting the error message below: Bummer! Did you initialize
Why am I getting the error message: Bummer! Did you initialize the field 'numSides' to 4 in the base constructor?
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Polygon { public readonly int NumSides;
public Polygon(int numSides)
{
numSides = 4;
NumSides = numSides;
}
}
class Square : Polygon
{
public readonly int SideLength;
public Square(int sideLength) : base(numSides)
{
SideLength = sideLength;
}
}
}
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Polygon
{
public readonly int NumSides;
public Polygon(int numSides)
{
NumSides = numSides;
}
}
}

The constructor for Square can use "base(4)
" to initialize numSides.
The code added should only be for the new class Square. You should not change the code provided by the challenge for Polygon.
