I dont understand the directions.

I dont get what they are asking me to do, here is the quesiton: Add a second parameter to the constructor named reactionTime after the existing parameter and use it to initialize the value of the ReactionTime field.

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

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

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

    }
}

The constructor is the public Frog (int tongueLength) method, you need to add another parameter inside the parenthesis for int reactionTime. Inside the code block, you need to set the reactionTime parameter passed into the constructor equal to the field ReactionTime.

It should look like this:

public Frog (int tongueLength, int reactionTime)
{
    TongueLength = tongueLength;
    ReactionTime = reactionTime;
}
