Nothing seems to work for me, please help. The program won't compile...

I tried many options:

  1. declaring the distanceToFly in the Frog class 2.declaring the distanceToFly in the beginning of the program 3.making a Fly class and declaring the distanceToFly as a Fly method.

I'm lost for ideas, please help.

Thanks!

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

        public Fly(int distanceToFly)
        {
            DistanceToFly = distanceToFly;
        }
    }


    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;

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

        public bool EatFly(Frog frog)
        {
            bool eat = Fly.distanceToFly >= Frog.tongueLength;

            return eat;
        }
    }
}

Looking at your code helped me fix mine actually:

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

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

    public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly) 
    {
        bool eat = TongueLength >= distanceToFly;

        return eat;
    }
}

}

Your parameter for EatFly is Frog frog. Its supposed to be int distanceToFly as stated in the prompt.

You had the right idea with: bool eat = Fly.distanceToFly >= Frog.tongueLength; I borrowed your idea except to me it made sense that if TongueLength is greater than distanceToFly, then that means that the Frog will be able to eat the fly. And then, return that. That passed for me. Hope that helps.

Hi Alex,

Its in C# objects , methods , and the question is : "Write a method inside the Frog class named EatFly. It should take a single integer parameter named distanceToFly and return a bool value. It should return true if the frog can reach the fly with its tongue, and false otherwise."

The code you start with is :

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

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

}

Thanks!! Yakov
