Here's a few hints:

  • Square should be be defined inside the namespace, but not inside the Polygon class
  • C# is case-sensitive, and the keyword "class" should be all lower-case.
  • next, indicate that Square is a type of (inherits from) Polygon
  • then give it "a public readonly field named SideLength"
  • create a constructor method that takes an argument and initializes SideLength
  • have the constructor pass 4 to the base
