I am confused as to what this wants

I understand that the method is public bool EatFly(); and that it wants to have a passed parameter EatFly(int distanceToFly) but I keep getting errors. Also if it wants an INT passed in then why is the method returning a bool can I even do that?

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

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

            return distanceToFly;
        }

    }
}

The return value of method can be different from any of its parameters (or it may have none at all).

One easy way to get a bool value to return is to compare two values to each other. This is great for this exercise, since you want the method to determine if it is possible to eat the fly, based on the distance and the length of the tongue.
