Use the private access modifier to make it so that classes other than Frog can get the value of NumFliesEaten but can’t

Use the private access modifier to make it so that classes other than Frog can get the value of NumFliesEaten but can’t set it.

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

        public int NumFliesEaten{get;set;}
        {
             return _numFliesEaten;
        }

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

    }
}

You still haven't completely converted NumFliesEaten to an auto-property yet.

  • all code will be moved to the get and set that belong to the property
  • there won't be any external "getter" or "setter" functions anymore.

You might want to review the video on Auto-Properties.

Your code should look like this one, but before that you to complete converting the NumFliesEaten to an auto-property

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { public class Frog {

   public int NumFliesEaten{ get; private set; }
}

}

If you've done the first task correctly, for task 2 you just add the keyword "private" before "set".
