Use the syntactic sugar just learned about to convert the Scale method to a single line method.

Square.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Square : Polygon
    {
        public double SideLength { get; private set; }
        public double Area { get;}

        public Square(double sideLength) : base(4)
        {
            SideLength = sideLength;
            Area = SideLength * SideLength;
        }
    }
}
Polygon.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Polygon
    {
        public int NumSides { get; private set; }

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

I do like this but it didn't compile. namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Square : Polygon { public double SideLength { get; private set;} 

    public double Area => SideLength * SideLength;


    public Square(double sideLength) : base(4) => SideLength = sideLength; 


    public void Scale(double factor) => SideLength *= factor;

}

}

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Polygon { public int NumSides { get; private set; }

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

}

You did too much this time.

The challenge does not ask you to change the Square constructor.

Your Scale method seems to be missing entirely from the code above.

You might need to start the challenge over to get it back. But since you've already passed task 1, it shouldn't be too hard. The changes you need to make are very similar to the ones you made to convert the Area property into a single line in the previous task.
