what did I do wrong for the next code challenge

I have error in the next code challenge : Frog.cs(11,20): error CS0161: `Treehouse.CodeChallenges.Frog.EatFly(int)': not all code paths return a value Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings. This is my code : namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class Frog { public readonly int TongueLength;

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

   public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
   {


    bool EatFly;

   }
}

}

Dont worry, I fought with this also. I was overthinking it way to much. especially not knowing the the distance to the fly. But knowing the distance really did not matter. You are Looking for something like this:

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;
        }
    }

}

}

Hello!

The error says you have to return a value from the EatFly method. Being a bool method, you have to return a bool value, namely true if the distanceToFly value is equal or higher than the tongueLength attribute or false if its lower.

Hope it helped!

Has anyone managed to get the answer to this? Would be VERY useful for the code questions if there was the facility to show the answer.

If any one did that then anyone could type into google enter the name of the code challenge followed by treehouse and they will find anyone's question an they could copy the code that the person who answered the students question (if answered ) paste it and easily pass though if it is explained in words that person wouldn't be bothered to read so they would move on but you do have a point. Hopefully you get my point.
