Hi Runley,

I see your class name (Frog) is different from your constructor name (TongueLength), which isn't allowed. Your class name must be the same as the constructor.

Secondly, you're also missing the type of the parameter you're passing to the class constructor, i.e. it just can't be tongueLength; you need to tell exactly what type the parameter is e.g. int tongueLength

Your code should look like below:

class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;

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

All the best and happy coding! :)
