Challenge Task 1 of 1
Add a GetHashCode method to the VocabularyWord class that returns an appropriate hash code. Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task. Restart Preview Get Help Check Work VocabularyWord.cs

132,143 PointsThe base class GetHashCode is declared as:
public virtual int GetHashCode();
For this exercise, since Word is the only member variable, it's easiest to just return the hashcode of the Word member:
public override int GetHashCode() {
return this.Word.GetHashCode();
}
