I can't seem to get it to return a bool value..?

My frog cant eat the fly because the tonguelength and distancetofly cant be established but if i add "public" in front it gives me a compiling error

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

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

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

    }
}

The public directive isn't causing a problem, but there are two typos:

  • the if statement has "distanceToFLy" (with capital "L") instead of "distanceToFly"
  • the same line also has "tongueLength" (with lower-case "t") instead of "TongueLength"
