i think im going in the right direction but somethings wrong

i think im going in the right direction but i need some help

FrogStats.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class FrogStats
    {
        public static double GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs)
        {
            for(i=0;i<frogs.Length;i++)
            {
                 frogs.TongueLength += frogs.TongueLength  ;
                // adding up each item from the frog array 
            }
             return  frogs.TongueLength/frogs.Length;
            // divding the total by the  length to get average lenght of tongues 
        }
    }
}
Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        public int TongueLength { get; }

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

for(i=0;i<frogs.Length;i++) //you've got a small syntax error here -- check out that first expression
{
    //here, you'll actually need to add together the tongue length of EACH frog in the array
   //you aren't actually accessing anything in the array
   //there's a special syntax for this that you can use. 
     frogs.TongueLength += frogs.TongueLength; 
  }    

  //return the totalTongueLength/number of frogs in array(frogs.Length)
   return  frogs.TongueLength/frogs.Length;

So think about it like this:

//define a variable to store the length of each frog's tongue 
 int totalTongueLength = 0;

//make your for loop (don't forget to fix the syntax error!)
for(i = 0; i < frogs.Length; i++)
{
   //use the variable you just made +=  each frog's tongueLength
   totalTongueLength += each frog's tongueLength
  //how would you get each frog's tongueLength? 
  //you need to get to each element in the frogs array!               
}

return  totalTongueLength/frogs.Length;
