C# return type

What is wrong with my return type?

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

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

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
        }

        public readonly int ReactionTime;

        public Frog2(int reactionTime)
        {
          ReactionTime = reactionTime;
            return reactionTime;
        }
        //This is the error" Class, struct, or interface method must have a return type"

    }
}

I guess you're in part 1 of the challenge, no?

Add another public readonly integer field to the Frog class named ReactionTime.

It asked you to add a new field to Frog class, it appears that you wrote the code inside the Frog method, which is wrong here.

Where to put the new field? It should be placed under this line public readonly int TongueLength;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public readonly int ReactionTime;   // add the ReactionTime field

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

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
        }
    }
}

hope it helps.

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

    public Frog(int tongueLength)

    {
        TongueLength = tongueLength;

    }

    public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
    {
        return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
    }
}

}
