Getting contextual errors on tongueLength bool return method.

Error: The name `ToungueLength' does not exist in the current context Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Thanks in advance for the help.

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

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

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            if (ToungueLength == distanceToFly)
            {
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
}

It looks like a spelling error with the line

if (ToungueLength == distanceToFly)

But the condition is also wrong. The frog can also eat flies closer than the length of its tongue. So the test should be if tongueLength exceeds or is equal to distanceToFly.

Thanks for the help, that slipped my mind.

I sometimes get confused with method parameters and variables. I'm working on that though. Cheers!
