Need help with the for loop to return the average length of the tongue of frogs. Can anybody help me, get the above error. Thanks in advance.
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class FrogStats
{
public static double GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs)
{
double sumTongueLength = 0;
int i;
for(i = 0; i < frogs.Length; i++)
{
sumTongueLength = sumTongueLength + frog.TongueLength;
}
return sumTongueLength/i;
}
}
}
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class Frog
{
public int TongueLength { get; }
public Frog(int tongueLength)
{
TongueLength = tongueLength;
}
}
}

sumTongueLength = sumTongueLength + frogs[i].TongueLength;
