DistanceTo method is giving error!

using System;
namespace TreehouseDefense
{
    class Point
    {
        public readonly int X;
        public readonly int Y;

        public Point(int x, int y)
        {
            X = x;
            Y = y;
        }
        public int DistanceTo(int x, int y)
        {
            int xDiff = X - x;
            int yDiff = Y - y;

            int xDiffSquared = xDiff * xDiff;
            int yDiffSquared = yDiff * yDiff;
        }
    }
}

I build my local environment to build this, it was working just fine. However, this code is giving a error! Can anybody help me out?

You're getting this error because you're saying DistanceTo() returns an int, but you aren't returning any number. It looks like you forgot the final lines to calculate the distance from the squares and return the result.
