I am not clear what is wrong with my code. I believe I have completed the task. Any help would be appreciated.

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
       private int _numFliesEaten;

       public int GetNumFliesEaten
       {
            get
            {
                return _numFliesEaten;

            }

       }

        public int SetNumFliesEaten
        {
            set
            {
                _numFliesEaten = value;
            }
        }

    }

}

I see four issues:

  • the terms "get" and "set" are for properties (that will come later in the course)
  • method declarations should have parentheses after the name
  • methods that do not return anything should be declared as "void"
  • the "value" of the setter method must be declared as a passed-in argument
