   Console.WriteLine(x.DistanceTo(5, 5));

    Console.WriteLine(x is MapLocation);

    Console.WriteLine(x is Point);

    Point point = new Point(0,0);      
    Console.WriteLine(Point is MapLocation);

:point_right: It looks like you just have a typo.

On the last line, you have:

    Console.WriteLine(Point is MapLocation);

I suspect you meant to write "point" (with lower case "p') instead of Point.
