Method Overload

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;

        public Frog(int reactionTime)
        {
           ReactionTime = reactionTime;   
        }   


    }
}

This challenge wants you to add a parameter to the existing constructor rather than overloading it. Try deleting the one you added and changing the existing one to the following.

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