Use constructor to initialize the TongueLength field to the value passed in
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
public readonly int TongueLength;
public Frog(int tonguelength)
{
TongueLength = tonguelength;
TongueLength tonguelength = new TongueLength(tonguelength);
}
}
}

You have created primitive datatype variables before so how would you assign an integer value to a variable?
Like so correct?
int integerValue = 30;
So if you are told to assign the readonly integer variable TongueLength
an integer parameter you created in a constructor wouldn't you just assign TongueLength
to that parameter? You aren't referencing a new class so no need for the new className()
syntax. Also isn't it odd that there isn't a class called TongueLength
that was created for you to reference?
So to solve this problem just do the following:
class Frog
{
public readonly int TongueLength;
public Frog(int tonguelength)
{
this.TongueLength = tonguelength;
}
}
You were already so close! Keep at it, have fun programming and don't get discouraged, watch earlier c# videos if you aer having trouble remembering things like this.

6,718 PointsHi Dean, Do you have a class named 'TongueLength' that excepts int in its constructor? What is the error you get?
