Setter and Getter - Challenge Task 2 of 2

I'm stuck, and not quite sure I grasp the concept of how setters and getters are constructed in C#.

Can someone explain the how and why my code is wrong? All I've got is compiler errors.

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

    public int GetNumFliesEaten()
    {
     return _numFliesEaten;
    }

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

}

You code is mostly good! Your only issue is a misplaced brace.

Your new code needs to be inside the "Frog" class, so the closing brace for the class needs to be moved down several lines so it will enclose all the new code. Fix that and you should pass the challenge.
