4,364 PointsIn RepeatDetector, override the Description property to return "Detects repetitions"
So I am not having trouble solving this problem but this challenge is having us use override in the public field, I wanted to know if it is more appropriate to use new here instead of override since the field is public please and thank you!!
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class RepeatDetector : SequenceDetector
{
public new string Description => "Detects repetitions";
public override bool Scan(int[] sequence)
{
if(sequence.Length < 2)
{
return false;
}
for(int i = 1; i < sequence.Length; ++i)
{
if(sequence[i] == sequence[i-1])
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
}
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
class SequenceDetector
{
public string Description => "";
public virtual bool Scan(int[] sequence)
{
return true;
}
}
}
