help! not sure what i meant to do

Write a method inside the Frog class named EatFly. It should take a single integer parameter named distanceToFly and return a bool value. It should return true if the frog can reach the fly with its tongue, and false otherwise. dont really get it

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

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

        public bool EatFly()
        {
          int distanceToFly = 
              return distanceToFly
        }
    }
}

Your methode EatFly takes no parameter "distanceToFly " and you have to return a boolean value.

return distanceToFly  <= TongueLength;

This code checks if distanceToFly is less or equal to TongueLength and then returns true or false

Hi Olu.

You have to make sure that the frog's tongue can reach the fly.

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

Raffael's code works too. He's just put distanceToFly and TongueLength the other way around and used <=.
