Instantiate a Class

I keep getting this error message " Did you instantiate the Frog class using the 'new' keyword?" and am not sure on how to instantiate it.

Program.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
             Frog mike = new Frog (); 
        }
    }
}
Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog        
    {
}
}

You've got it, but the challenge is not evaluating your answer correctly.

Remove the space between "Frog" and the following parentheses and you will pass. This is NOT a C# syntax requirement, although it is considered a "best practice" to have the parentheses adjacent to the name.

You might want to report this as a bug on the Support page.
