Hello!
What am I missing here? It asks me if I forgot to remove the _numFliesEaten field, but shouldn't it be there?
Can't seem to get it right...
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Frog
{
private int _numFliesEaten;
public int NumFliesEaten {get; set;}
}
}
thank you in advance for all the help I can get!
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Frog
{
private int _numFliesEaten;
public int NumFliesEaten {get; set;}
// get { return _numFliesEaten; }
// set { _numFliesEaten = value; }
}
}
