Create a method named WordsWithCountGreaterThan that takes an integer as a parameter. The method should return a diction

Having some trouble completing this challenge. I got an error that said "Did you create the WordsWithCountGreaterThan method?" ...so I looked up how to create a method on MSD but this is as far as I could get by trying to model their examples.

Any tips appreciate. Assume I don't know a lot of C# vocabulary.

LexicalAnalysis.cs 
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class LexicalAnalysis
      public class  WordsWithCountGreaterThan()
      {
      }
    {

        public Dictionary<string, int> WordCount = new Dictionary<string, int>();

        public void AddWord(string word)
        {
            if (WordCount.ContainsKey(word))
            {
                WordCount[word]++;
            }
            else
            {
                WordCount.Add(word, 1);
            }
        }
    }
}

Here's a few hints:

  • your task is to create a method, not a class
  • your code needs to be added inside the braces that enclose the "LexicalAnalysis" class
  • the instructions say the new method "takes an integer as a parameter"
  • you still need to create the body of the method, you may want to review the video for examples
