What am Doing wrong? Accesor Method

What am Doing wrong? Accesor Method

I'm stuck at the first exercices in the step Encapsulation with Properties I've to use a private variable, So i declare it like this: private int NumFliesEaten_numFliesEaten ;

And the compiller return: Frog.cs(5,48): error CS1519: Unexpected symbol _numFliesEaten' in class, struct, or interface member declaration Frog.cs(5,50): error CS1519: Unexpected symbol;' in class, struct, or interface member declaration Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings

Someone has an idea what I could do?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Dominic,

You're very close. The video makes this a little confusing too because your code looks the same as the video does.

The problem here is that the challenge question is asking you to rename the variable. Your code is correct but you have to delete the old public name and replace it with the private name.

Does this help?
