AutoProperty Help

I am missing something. Am I supposed to create this property then make another class to call it with the auto property? I cant figure out how this is supposed to go. Never got auto-properties before.

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
      //  private int _numFliesEaten;
      public NumFliesEaten{get;set;}
//        get { return _numFliesEaten; }
  //      set { _numFliesEaten = value; }
    }
}

:point_right: You are only missing the property type.

Otherwise, you would have had it. Your new auto-property should have the same type as the previous private field did.

Ok gotcha. I was trying to get it from the previous video but I see now. Its gotta take in a int so the type will be int.
