What am I doing wrong ? .. I don't see any problems .. help

Apparently I don't assign sideLength as a paramater in the constructor which i do but with a capital S which it shouldn't complain on ... so what am I doing wrong here ?

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(4)
                {
                SideLength = sideLength;
                }
        }

    }
}

C# is case-sensitive, so it is important that you use "sideLength" (lower case "s") as the name of the parameter in the "Square" class. But you did get the assignment inside the constructor correct (or it will be, once it can access the parameter).

However, that's not your main problem:

:point_right: The "Square" class is being defined inside the "Polygon" class.

It needs to be a peer to the other class — check your bracket placement.
