I have a question and an error. C# CS8180

Question

I'm just trying to make a basic program and here is part of my instructions:

Create a class "Course".
- create a constructor with two string parameters "courseId" and "courseName".
- create two string data members "CID" with property "ID"(set, get), and "CName" with property "Name"(set, get).

For one, I don't understand how to have a string property "ID", when the data member already has a name, and the property is get and set.

Also, my code gives me an error code CS8180 ( { or ; or => expected ). When I click on the error, it leads me to the space after my set. Take a look:

using System;

class Course
{
    public string CID { get; set }

    public void CourseInfo(string courseId, string courseName)
    {
    }


}

`{ get; set; }` note the Extra `;` after set. { get; set **;** } — xdtTransform, Jun 25 '19 at 15:11

You are missing a ; after set :

using System;

class Course 
{ 
   public string CID { get; set; }

   public void CourseInfo(string courseId, string courseName)
   {
   }
}

Thank you lema. I didn't register that that second semicolon was missing. – Pollutxdd Jun 25 '19 at 15:14
