Use the private access modifier to make it so that classes other than Frog can get the value of NumFliesEaten but can’t set it.

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        private int _numFliesEaten;

        public int GetNumFliesEaten()
        {
             return _numFliesEaten;
        }

        public void  SetNumFliesEaten( int numFliesEaten)
        {
            _numFliesEaten = numFliesEaten;
        }

    }
}

The error seems like it is for task 2, but your code looks like you have not done task 1 yet.

You should probably start over, where task 1 asks you to convert NumFliesEaten into an auto-property.
