388 Pointswhy is this wrong
it says: Did you create a method named EatFly that returns a bool value? which I did.
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
public readonly int TongueLength;
public Frog(int tongueLength)
{
TongueLength = tongueLength;
bool EatFly(int distanceToFly);
{
bool reach = distanceToFly<tongueLength;
return reach;
}
}
}
}

1) Right now your EatFly method is inside the constructor method ( public Frog() ). Move EatFly outside of the constructor, as EatFly is a new method.
2) Now that EatFly is outside the constructor, you will have to use TongueLength instead of tongueLength (tongueLength is only accessible inside the constructor)
3) you can let the EatFly method directly return the comparison, it will return true or false this way:
return distanceToFly < TongueLength

19,503 PointsI had a similar sort of problem with this and ended up with everything correct except the last line. I had:
return EatFly(distanceToFly) <= TongueLengthI'm still not sure why it was wrong. Obviously I shouldn't have tried to return the method itself; but the '=' operator was not allowed?
