how can i solve error cs1520? it shouldn't be returning anything

on the line 17 error says that i should return type but it should not return stuff back

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 reactionTime(int reactiontime)

You haven't modified the constructor yet.

Task 2 says, "Add a second parameter to the constructor named reactionTime after the existing parameter and use it to initialize the value of the ReactionTime field."

But instead of modifying the constructor (which is the method named "Frog") to add a new parameter, you created a brand new method named reactionTime. But the initialization inside it is good, maybe you could move that into the constructor.
