Convert the NumFliesEaten property to the simpler auto-property.

I'm not sure why it doesn't compile when I declare NumFliesEaten property

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog

    {
        private int _numFliesEaten { get; set; }
    }
}

Needed to set NumFliesEaten to public rather than private, and change _numFliesEaten to NumFliesEaten since it's now public.

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        public int NumFliesEaten { get; set; }
    }
}

Should try this.:

Convert the NumFliesEaten property to the simpler auto-property.

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { public class Frog { public int NumFliesEaten { get; set; } } }
