C# C# Objects Object-Oriented Programming Initialization

primary constructor does not work in C# 6.0 even though the exercise asks to create a constructor? what do I do?

Not sure if this is a bug or if its been done on purpose to force me to research into this area... I have been looking and searching for a while now and have come up empty handed so any help would be awesome!

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        struct constructor<TongueLength>(int tongue)
        {

        }
        public static readonly int TongueLength;


    }
}

:point_right: A constructor will always have the same name as the class itself.

And a constructor is a class method, so it would not be defined as a struct.

You may want to review constructors in the video on Object Initialization.

Just realised that I didn't watch that video...When I resumed the track yesterday it automatically took me to the exercises even though I had not watched 'Object Initialisation'. Thanks for the heads up!
