C# C# Objects Loops and Final Touches While Loops

Why does this not work in Visual Studio 2013: public MapLocation Location => _path.GetLocationAt(_pathStep);

I have the Invader Class using the shortened version of the Location constructor as follows:

        private readonly Path _path;
        private int _pathStep = 0;

        public MapLocation Location => _path.GetLocationAt(_pathStep);

This works in your Mono C# workspace but I cannot compile it in my Visual Studio 2013. I get 3 errors:

  1. ; expected
  2. Invalid token '(' in class, struct, or interface memeber declaration.
  3. Invalid token ')' in class, struct, or interface memeber declaration.

Why would I be getting this error?

:point_right: I don't think the 2013 version of Visual Studio supports the C#6 syntax (using "=>").

You'll need to stick with the "long form" until you upgrade.
