Can someone help me with the C# Objects, Method Overloading task?

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

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

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

Hello Christian,

Step 2 of the challenge wants you add the ability to provide a reaction time at the time the object is created by passing it to the constructor. The constructor method is Frog.

The constructor already has a parameter for tongue length, so to add a new parameter and assign the value passed in to our public read-only field looks like this.

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

        public Frog(int tongueLength, int newReadonlyField)
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
            NewReadonlyField = newReadonlyField;
        }

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

I hope this helps.

:point_right: For task 1, use the declaration of TongueLength as a sample.

Create another line like that but with the name the challenge says to use.

I forgot to mention that it is the second task I need help with. Can you give me a hint of the second task?
