Hello, The assignment is to Create a Frog instance in Program.Main() and assign it to a variable named mike. I don't know why I am wrong. Thank you for the help
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Frog mike = new Frog ();
}
}
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class Frog
{
}
}

It is the space between Frog and ()
Frog mike = new Frog();

Frog mike = new Frog();
Same thing when you call an existing method
someMethod();
or when you create an array
int[] a = new int[3];
in this case, these are not parenthesis, but brackets. The general idea is the same, do not add a space, otherwise, the compiler won't understand what your code is trying to do.

21,223 PointsTo clarify, your code compiles in Visual Studio because C# ignores whitespace. You can read about that here .
Therefore, it is the treehouse test that is not passing it correctly as the C# compiler compiles your code for me just fine (Visual Studio Express 2017).
Of course, we should always follow the coding conventions of the languages we use though. That is where we would want to make sure that we are not placing a space between Frog and () as you have done. You can read about coding conventions for c# here .
