When I run this code I get the error: "FrogStats.cs(14,20): error CS0103: The name `Convert' does not exist in the ....

...FrogStats.cs(14,20): error CS0103: The name `Convert' does not exist in the current context...

WHY am I getting that error? I am absolutely sure that the synthases is correct because I complied it with my Visual Studio 2010.

FrogStats.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class FrogStats
    {
        public static double GetAverageTongueLength(Frog[] frogs)
        {
            double total = 0;
            double AverageTongueLength = 0;
            double resultado = 0;


            for(int index = 0; index < frogs.Length; index++)
            {
                resultado = Convert.ToDouble(frogs[index]);
                total = total + resultado;

            }


            return AverageTongueLength = total / frogs.Length;
        }
    }
}
Frog.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        public int TongueLength { get; }

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

Visual Studio probably gave you access to "Convert" by adding a "using System;" directive for you. You can add one yourself to the challenge to access it.

But you don't need it. I'm not sure Visual Studio handled converting a "frog" into a double anyway. But all you really need there is the "TongueLength" property of indexed frog object. The conversion isn't needed because adding it to "total" will convert it for you.
