I do not understand what I am trying to do.

Question

I assume I have done the correct code but the program keeps saying I need a return even though I already have one?

Frog.cs

using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges

{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public readonly int ReactionTime;

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

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
        }
        public ReactionTime(int reactionTime)
        {
           return ReactionTime = reactionTime;
        }

    }
}

This is the full compile error that I'm getting:

Frog.cs(19,16): error CS1520: Class, struct, or interface method must have a return type
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

So on line 19, it's expecting a return type.

public ReactionTime(int reactionTime)

Constructors are special in that they don't have a return type in the way that other methods do. But constructors need to have the same name as the class, in this case Frog, so it doesn't see this as a constructor.

I think you might have misread the instructions. It says "Add a second parameter to the constructor named reactionTime " not "add a second constructor*.

Let me know if you need more help.
