"Use the constructor to initialize the TongueLength field to the value passed in." Help please

Question

I passed step 2of3 with the code
 ```
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
    public Frog(int tongue)
    {
        TongueLength = tongue;
    }
}
}
 ```
But now cannot initialize. I thought perhaps adding:
 Frog frog = new Frog(2);
But this does not let me pass the stage.

You can initialize value in constructor using 
```c
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public Frog(int length=4)
        {
        TongueLength=length;
        }
    }
}
```

WHAT IN THE WORLD I was stuck for ages on that challenge and I had literally the same code as you and it was not working and then I copy-pasted as Steven said and it worked 0_o

The quiz on this isn't using the answer provided by the video to solve it. What the video teaches us would be this:
`namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
    public Frog(int tongue)
    {
        TongueLength = tongue;
    }

Frog frog = new Frog(2);
}
}`
But this is what passes the test:
`namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
    public Frog(int tongue = 4)
    {
    TongueLength = tongue;
    }
}
}`

You forgot to include a link to the challenge, but if I guessed correctly it is this one (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/c-objects/objectoriented-programming/initialization).
You code looks good as is (nothing needs to be added), so I tested it in the challenge.
:point_right: I cut and pasted it directly into the challenge and it passed all 3 tasks.
I'm not sure why it didn't pass for you.  I suggest just giving it another try.
