I am not sure why the challenge says my code is wrong.

I am unsure why the challenge is saying I failed.

The challenge wants me to return true if the fly is in reach of the mouth. the distanceToFly - TongueLength should equal 0 to make the statement true.

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

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

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            if(distanceToFly - TongueLength == 0)
            {
               return true; 
            }

            else
            {
                return false;   
            }

        }
    }
}

The mysterious down vote. It would help me (and maybe others) understand when this is done if there was an explanation as to why.

If you are 2 feet away and my arm is 2 feet long I can reach you.

If you are 2 feet away and my arm is 3 feet long I can still reach you.

Hint: Wouldn't the fly also be eaten if TongueLength was greater than distanceToFly? You are only considering if they are the same length.
