Can anybody give me a hand please?

I don't understand what parameters I have to use for the constructor named reactionTime... In fact, I don't think I have gotten the question... Thanks for your help in advance.

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;
        }

        public readonly int ReactionTime;
    }
}

hi, please take a look at this line in the pre-written code template.

public readonly int TongueLength;

This is the public readonly integer field to Frog class named TougueLength.

Part 1 is essentially asking you to define another field like it only with the different name.

Hope it helps.

It's simple when walk through the directions one step at a time

First step

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public readonly int ReactionTime; //Add another public readonly integer field to the Frog class named ReactionTime.

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

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

second step

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public readonly int ReactionTime; //Add another public readonly integer field to the Frog class named ReactionTime.

        public Frog(int tongueLength, int reactionTime) //Add a second parameter to the constructor named reactionTime after the existing parameter
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
            ReactionTime = reactionTime; //use it to initialize the value of the ReactionTime field.
        }

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

third step

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public readonly int ReactionTime; //Add another public readonly integer field to the Frog class named ReactionTime.

        public Frog(int tongueLength, int reactionTime) //Add a second parameter to the constructor named reactionTime after the existing parameter
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
            ReactionTime = reactionTime; //use it to initialize the value of the ReactionTime field.
        }

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

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly, int flyReactionTime) //Add another method named EatFly that takes two integer parameters and returns a boolean value. Name the parameters distanceToFly and flyReactionTime. 
        {
            if(this.TongueLength >= distanceToFly && this.ReactionTime <= flyReactionTime) //if the frog’s tongue is longer or equal to than the distance to the fly and its reaction time is faster or equal to than the fly’s reaction time
            {
                return true; //return true
            }
            return false;
        }
    }
}
