230,688 PointsClose, but I see two issues:
- you forgot to indicate the return type (bool) in the declaration of the method
- the keywords "true" and "false" should be all lower-case
Also, you don't need to test a Boolean, you can make the code more compact by returning it directly:
return reach;
And to make the code even more compact, you could perform all the calculations on the return
line and skip creating any variables.

6,918 Pointssorry reach should be in brackets after if, not distance
