Hello Darya,

Looks like you created the EatFly method correctly. Inside of the EatFly method you need to check if the fly is close enough to the frog to be eaten.

Try this:

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

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

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly) 
        {
            //Is the frog's tongue long enough to reach the fly?
            if(distanceToFly <= TongueLength) 
            {
                return true; // Fly is eaten
            } else 
            {
                return false; // Fly is not eaten
            }

        }
    }
}

Hello Michael,

thank you for the answer, hm but I had also the similar code (I would say the same one) but if I try to pass with my code it shows a mistake, if I copy yours its ok .. I dont understand why

here is my code:

public bool EatFly (int distanceToFLy) { if( TongueLength >= distanceToFLy ) { return true; } else { return false; } }

I see you are checking if TongueLength is greater than or equal to distanceToFly and I'm checking if distanceToFly is less than or equal to TongueLength. These both seem like correct answers. They should work but I think maybe they forgot to add both as possible correct answers.
