980 PointsI am doing exactly what the challenge is asking me to do which is to use the constructor to initialize the field ...
... TongueLength. So why am I getting the feedback "Bummer! Does your constructor..."???
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
public readonly int TongueLength;
public Frog(int TongueLength)
{
TongueLength = TongueLength;
}
}
}

Because of the concept of scope your currently just saying that the arguement in the constructor should be equal to the arguement, but you should be setting the actual field.
Another way to do this is to use the 'this' keyword:
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
public readonly int TongueLength;
public Frog(int TongueLength)
{
this.TongueLength = TongueLength; // this.TongueLength is talking about the field TongueLength.
}
}
}
Hope this helps!

980 PointsThanks everyone. I will try the "this" thing.... but... how was I supposed to know that if the session did not covered that concept??

That being said if you really do belive you have discovered a bug, you should contact staff directly.
