Polygon.cs

plz tell the code.

Polygon.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Polygon
    {
        public readonly int NumSides;

        public Polygon(int numSides)
        {
            NumSides = numSides;
        }
    }

 class Square : Polygon 
    {
        public readonly int SideLength;

        public Square(int sidelength):base(NumSides=4)
        {
            SideLength=sideLength;


        }






}

can anyone tell the mistake in my code . I'm unable to follow how to use base.

1 Answer

for the base constructor, you do not need to list the name of the argument, you only need to supply the value indicated in the challenge (4).

public Square(int sidelength) : base(4)
