16,474 PointsI sent this in the editor and it worked for me; I just removed your 'this' from your hash code method:
using System;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class VocabularyWord
{
public string Word { get; private set; }
public VocabularyWord(string word)
{
Word = word;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return Word;
}
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
if(!(obj is VocabularyWord))
{
return false;
}
var that = obj as VocabularyWord;
return this.Word.Equals(that.Word);
}
public override int GetHashCode() {
return Word.GetHashCode();
}
}
}
