It is very hard for my figure out the problems. Can someone help me?

The Polygon class represents a 2 dimensional shape. It has a public field named NumSides. Create a new type of polygon called Square. It should have a public readonly field named SideLength that’s initialized using the constructor. Use base to initialize NumSides to 4.

Polygon.cs
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)
        }
    }
}

Hi, MD.

Your problem is just some brackets being set wrong inside of the 'Square' class. You should also set the "SideLength" inside of the constructor of 'Square'.

    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;
        }
    }

Hope this helps.
