How do you initialize the base value and can you explain what it means. The word initialize has always confused me in the development world and the more I read the more confused I am.
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Polygon
{
public readonly int NumSides;
public Polygon(int numSides)
{
NumSides = numSides;
}
}
class Square : Polygon
{
public readonly int SideLength;
public Square (int sideLength) : base(numSides)
{
base(4);
}
}
}

Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsYour last 2 staements need modifying. Try this:
`` namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Polygon { public readonly int NumSides;
public Polygon(int numSides)
{
NumSides = numSides;
}
} class Square : Polygon { public readonly int SideLength; public Square(int sideLength) : base(4) { SideLength = sideLength;
}
} } ``
