Having a difficult time implementing a constructor in c# dotnet

Hello Stack Overflow,

I recently started c# and created a bakery project where a person can buy bread or pastry.
My project works just fine but one of the requirements was to use {get;set} and a constructor.

Here is my bread.cs file:

using System.Collections.Generic;    namespace Bakery.Models  {      public class Bread      {         // public Bread(int aNumofBread) {        //   int numOfBread = aNumofBread;          // }             public int CalcBread(int numOfBread) {             int priceOfLoaf = 5;            if(numOfBread % 3 == 0) {              return (numOfBread * priceOfLoaf) - ((numOfBread/3) * priceOfLoaf);                 } else if(numOfBread % 3 == 1) {              return (numOfBread * priceOfLoaf) - ((numOfBread-1)/3 * priceOfLoaf);            } else if (numOfBread % 3 == 2) {              return (numOfBread * priceOfLoaf) - ((numOfBread-2)/3 *priceOfLoaf);            } else return numOfBread * priceOfLoaf;          }                 }  };  

As you can see I did not have a constructor in my class.

Here is what my program.cs looks like:

using System.Collections.Generic;    namespace Bakery.Models  {    public class Program    {      public static void Main()      {        Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Gray;        Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Black;        string bakeryAscii = @"                            ....                        .'      `.                      .' .-'``-._ `.                      |  / -    - ` |                      / |'<o>  <o> | \                      (|    '`    |)                         \  -==-  /                            `.____.'                              |    |                         _ _.'`-.__.-'`._/_                  .'| |`-.  /\  .-'| |`.                _.'   \ \  `'  `'  / /   `._              { `.    | `-.____.-' |    .' }              /`. `./ /   __  __   \ \.' .'\              /   `.| |   /  \/  \   | |.'   \            (    (  \ \  \      /  / /  )    )              `.   \  Y|   `.  .'   |Y  /   .'                \   \ ||_ _ _\/_ _ _|| /   /                `.  \|'            `|/  .'          _______/  _ >--------------< _  \______.##._                ((((_(                )_))))   .##. |              / ```` `--------------' ''''\   |  | |              ( Welcome to Faisal's Bakery! \  |  |-'              )                             ) `--'              (          _        _.---.__.-'              `-.___.--' `------'            ";        Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.DarkBlue;        Console.WriteLine(bakeryAscii);        Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Gray;        Console.WriteLine("Please [y] to place your order, [m] to view the menu and [n] to exit");        string  continueAnswer = Console.ReadLine().ToLower();        if (continueAnswer == "y") {          Console.WriteLine("How many loaves of bread would you like to purchase today?");          string stringNumOfBread = Console.ReadLine();             int numOfBread = 0;          bool checkBreadInput = Int32.TryParse(stringNumOfBread, out numOfBread);            if (checkBreadInput == true) {              if (numOfBread >= 0 ) {                Bread bread = new Bread();                int breadPrice = bread.CalcBread(numOfBread);                Console.WriteLine("You have bought " + numOfBread + " loaves of bread for: $" + breadPrice);                Console.WriteLine("Would you like to buy some Pastry's today?

Thank you so much for your help, I know I can refactor my program.cs to make it more DRY.. but right now im just focused on using auto-implented properties.

I got really confused on this one.. I hope I can get some help, ty.
