Return the average length of the tongues of the frogs in the array. Use a for loop as part of your solution.

I'm stuck in deep. I've tried figuring out what's wrong but nothing comes up my mind.

FrogStats.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class FrogStats
    {
        public static double GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs)
        {
           int frogToungeLength = 0;
           int frogTotal = 0;
            for(int i=0; i < frogs.Length; i++)
            {
               frogTongueLength = frogs[i].TongueLength;
               frogTotal++;
            }
            return frogToungeLength/frogTotal;

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

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

Did you try the "preview" button? When you do, the compiler message shown is:

FrogStats.cs(11,16): error CS0103: The name `frogTongueLength' does not exist in the current context

And that's because on line 7 where it is declared, it is spelled differently ("frogToungeLength").

I've just fixed it, however I still receive an error: "Are you returning the average length of the tongues of the frogs in the array?"

Did you make sure the spelling is the same in all the references? (if that's not it, show the current code)

Steven Parker , yes. But it is still giving me the same error. Nothing is shown under "Editor".

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { class FrogStats { public static double GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs) {

        int frogTongueLength = 0;
       int frogTotal = 0;
        for(int i=0; i < frogs.Length; i++)
        {
           frogTongueLength = frogs[i].TongueLength;
           frogTotal++;
        }
        return frogTongueLength/frogTotal;

    }
}

}

This code is just storing the last last tongue length. Change the "=" to "+=" to make it sum them instead.
