public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly,int flyReactionTime) { return TongueLength >= distanceToFly && ReactionTime >= flyReactionTime; }
isn't it right.?
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
public readonly int TongueLength;
public readonly int ReactionTime;
public Frog(int tongueLength, int reactionTime)
{
TongueLength = tongueLength;
ReactionTime = reactionTime;
}
public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
{
return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
}
public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly,int flyReactionTime)
{
return TongueLength >= distanceToFly && ReactionTime >= flyReactionTime;
}
}
}

return TongueLength >= distanceToFly && ReactionTime <= flyReactionTime;
and it worked. However, the logic doesn't match up with the task. Same goes for the error. "Bummer! If the frog's reaction time is greater than the fly's reaction time, the frog can't get the fly."

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Kevin,
You have the right logic here. A lower value means a faster reaction time.

18,106 PointsThat's very strange, I just had the same problem and it worked when I changed the reaction time to be less than or equal to instead of greater than or equal to. Very odd. Thanks for the help, It was driving me crazy.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsMaybe I've missed something but why is it odd if it's less than or equal to?
I think it's the correct logic. The logic originally posted in the question wasn't correct.
Supposed that the frog's reaction time is 500ms and the fly's reaction time is 600ms. This means that the frog is faster than the fly and will be able to catch it. A lower reaction time means a quicker response.
It seems to me then that we would want to make sure the frog's reaction time is less than or equal to the fly's reaction time. Otherwise, the frog won't be fast enough to catch the fly.
