Compiles, but does not print anything

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

          Point point = new Point(4, 2);

          System.Console.WriteLine(point.DistanceTo(5, 5));



        }
    }
}

And my Point.cs code, in case if needed:

namespace TreehouseDefense
{
  class Point
  {
    public readonly int X;
    public readonly int Y;

    public Point(int x, int y)
    {
      X = x;
      Y = y;
    }

    public int DistanceTo(int x, int y) // cartesian distance formula //
    {
      int xDiff = X - x;  // subtracts x or y that was passed into this method from
      int yDiff = Y - y;  // from x or y that are in the point that this method was called on

      int xDiffSquared = xDiff * xDiff;
      int yDiffSquared = yDiff * yDiff;

      return (int)System.Math.Sqrt(xDiffSquared + yDiffSquared);
    }
  }
}

Dude, I just realized that I've been compiling but not running the code. How stupid of me, hope you weren't doing the same thing!

Remember to type "mono" then (name of your .exe file, case sensitive) and hit enter

eg mono Game.exe

Hope that helps!
