error CS1525: Unexpected symbol. Please help

I'm getting a compiler error despite copying the video's code. Please assist! The error is: "Map.cs(10,13): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol Map', expectingclass', delegate',enum', interface',pa rtial', or struct' Map.cs(12,8): error CS1525: Unexpected symbolWidth', expecting class',delegate', enum',interface', p artial', orstruct'
Map.cs(14,7): error CS1514: Unexpected symbol }', expecting.' or `{'
Compilation failed: 3 error(s), 0 warnings "

HERE'S THE CODE FOR MAP.CS:

namespace TreeHouseDefense
{

    class Map 
    {
      public readonly int Width;
      public readonly int Height;
    }

      public Map(int width, int height)
      {
        Width = width;
        Height = height;
      }

}

HERE'S THE CODE FOR GAME.CS:

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

            int area = map.Width * map.Height;
        }
    }
}

It looks like the constructor function for "Map" is outside of the class.

The quick fix would be to move the first closing brace ("}") down to right after the 2nd one.

For future issues, an easy and effective way to share both the code and the project environment is to make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
