Can you figure out the cause of error in my coding?

Please explain to me why parameter declaration for distanceToFly is not working.

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

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

        public EatFly()
        {
           public int distanceToFly;
           bool result;
            if (distanceToFly < TongueLength)
            {
                return result = true;
            }
            else    
                return result = false;
        }
    }
}

Hi Bong, parameters are declared inside the brackets after the method name. You must also include the return type before the method name (or void if there is none).

public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly) {
  // method body
}

Thank you, Umesh Now I got clear understanding on parameter declaration thanks to your explanation.
