Intermediate C# GetHashCode

public override int GetHashCode()
        {
            return (int) Word.GetHashCode() * 7;
        }

Is there a cleaner way?

:point_right: You don't need the " * 7" or the cast:

        public override int GetHashCode()
        {
            return Word.GetHashCode();
        }
