I am stuck and don't know how to get the average of the tongue length. Can anyone help me solve and explain.

I am not sure where else to go from here. I have been stuck for about two hours. Not sure which part goes where for the return part.

FrogStats.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class FrogStats
    {
        public static double GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs)
        {
            double total = 0;
            for(int i = 0; i < frogs.Length; i++) 
            {
                Frog frog = frogs[i];
                total +=
            }
            return 
        }
    }
}
Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        public int TongueLength { get; }

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

The Frog class has an int property called TongueLength. So its asking you to get the average of that value from the array of frogs being passed in. You can access that value when going through the loop with dot notation.

for(int i = 0; i < frogs.Length;i++)
{
    total += frogs[i].TongueLength;
}

Dont forget average is the sum of all numbers then divided by the amount of numbers. So frogs.Length will come in handy again.
