This question asks to change the public into private and apply some convention, that it! Your code should look like this one....

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Frog {

    private int _numFliesEaten;

}

}

You will use Getter and Setter method for next question(Q#2).

Answer for question #2

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Frog {

    private int _numFliesEaten;
    public int GetNumFliesEaten()
      {
          return _numFliesEaten;
      }

    public void SetNumFliesEaten(int value)
      {
         _numFliesEaten = value;
      }

}

}

The property type should remain int.

It looks like you changed the access to private and renamed the property correctly, but the type should still be "int" (not "NumFilesEaten").

It also looks like you started to add an auto-property after _numFliesEaten, but that's not part of this challenge (plus you have some syntax issues).
