What am I doing wrong?

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

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

    bool EatFly(int distanceToFly){

       if(distanceToFly <= tongueLength)
       {
            return true;
       }
       else {
           return false;
       }


    }
}

}

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

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

        bool EatFly(int distanceToFly){

           if(distanceToFly <= tongueLength)
           {
                return true;
           }
           else {
               return false;
           }


        }
    }
}

You are missing the visibility keyword public in the method definition and you are referring to the wrong property tongueLength with a lowercase "t". It should be an uppercase "T".

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

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

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

Also, you do not need the if-statement at all in the EatFly method. The if condition can be returned directly because it evaluates to either true or false like so:

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            return distanceToFly <= TongueLength;
        }
