Avarage toungue length

I am lost... Obviously I am not getting how to get the toungue lengths from Frogs.cs?

can anybody help me please?

FrogStats.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
//Return the average length of the tongues of the frogs in the array. Use a for loop as part of your solution.
    class FrogStats
    {
        public static double GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs)
        {

            int totalTongueLength = 0;
            for(int i = 0; i < frogs.Length; i++)
            {
               totalTongueLength += frogs[i];

            }
           return totalTongueLength / frogs.Length;
        }
    }
}
Frog.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        public int TongueLength { get; }

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

Right now with your code totalTongueLength += frogs[i]; your code is trying to add up the number of frogs to your totalTongueLenth variable which is not what you want. To access the property of a object, we use the dot notation.

For example, if your frogs had a color property, you could get that value by writing frogs[i].color.

Your almost there, He covered how to do this in this previous lesson at around minute 2:50. Hope that helps!
