I added the reaction time parameter:
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Frog { public readonly int TongueLength; public readonly int ReactionTime; public Frog(int tongueLength) { TongueLength = tongueLength; ReactionTime = reactionTime; }
public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
{
return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
}
}
}
Bummer! Did you add a reactionTime parameter to the Frog constructor after the tongueLength parameter?
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
public readonly int TongueLength;
public readonly int ReactionTime;
public Frog(int tongueLength)
{
TongueLength = tongueLength;
ReactionTime = reactionTime;
}
public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
{
return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
}
}
}

18,106 PointsYour code is correct however you forgot to pass in reactionTime as a second parameter in addition to toungeLength. Here is how I wrote it and it worked. I think the instructions could be a little bit more clear because I got confused as well.
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
public readonly int TongueLength;
public readonly int ReactionTime;
public Frog(int tongueLength, int reactionTime)
{
TongueLength = tongueLength;
ReactionTime = reactionTime;
}
public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
{
return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
}
}
}

I also was confused but then I have a small brain.
