Confused. Not clear what the question asks for !
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(string q){
if(this.Word == q)
return true;
else return false;
}
}
}

Treehouse TeacherPurvi,
You're close to having the correct answer! Let's double check the signature for the method that you're trying to override, Object.Equals.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bsc2ak47(v=vs.100).aspx
public virtual bool Equals(Object obj)
And here's your method.
public override bool Equals(string q)
Notice the difference in the parameter types? Try changing your method signature and see where that leads you to next.
Thanks, James

2,926 PointsI think the challenge is bugged. I'm at a loss. If you override the Equals method then it says there is no suitable method to override, but if you don't override it, it says there are multiple methods named Equals. Seems like a lose/lose situation to me. I even tried different signatures for the method.
