why is this code not correct? I've done everything the way it should haven't I?

my task is to make a method which takes a parameter called distanceToFly and checks if the frog can reach it

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

        public Frog(int tongueLength)
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
        }
        public bool Eatfly(distanceToFly){
        bool eatfly=distanceToFly<=Frog.TongueLenght;
            return(eatfly);
        }
    } 
}

There are 4 edits here which will make your code pass the challenge:

  • The challenge wants the method to be called EatFly, not Eatfly (notice the uppercase F).
  • You have a typo inside your method - 'TongueLenght' should be TongueLength.
  • You don't need to write Frog.TongueLength inside the method, you can access it using simply TongueLength.
  • Your parameter, distanceToFly, needs to have its type declared in the function header (int).

Hope that helps. Let me know if you need any of them explained further.
