Am i suppose to be using the whole GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs) in my for loop or just frogs?

also it seems as tho my format is right but in my preview its saying i have syntax errors

FrogStats.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class FrogStats
    {
        public static double GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs)
        {
            for( int i = 0; i <GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs).length; i++ )
            {
               return i; 
            }
        }
    }
}
Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        public int TongueLength { get; }

        public Frog(int tongueLength)
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
        }
    }
}

Inside the function body, you don't need to identify the type of "frogs" again. This is also not a situation where you need to use recursion (having a function call itself).

A typical implementation would use the loop to accumulate a sum of the lengths, and then after the loop has finished the sum would be divided by the count to create an average.
