This concept and code examples were covered in the video just prior to this challenge, which happens to be named Computed Properties.

Courses Plus Student 1,280 PointsThat's works! For this case
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { public class Polygon { public int NumSides { get; private set; }
}
