C# Objects Method task 3of3 Help

Did you create a method named EatFly that accepts these parameter types: int, int?

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public readonly int ReactionTime;
        public readonly int flyReactionTime;

        public Frog(int tongueLength, int reactionTime)
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
            ReactionTime = reactionTime;
        }

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            return (TongueLength >= distanceToFly && ReactionTime <= flyReactionTime);
        }
    }
}

The "flyReactionTime" is not an instance variable. It's a parameter of the new "EatFly" method. Your method body looks OK, but you still need to take the additional parameter.

Also, this should be a new method. The original "EatFly" method (which takes just one argument) should remain as-is.

  1. You'll need to add a second EatFly method instead of modifying the first one.
  2. The EatFly overload will take two int parameters (you don't need to declare the new variable as a class field at the top)
