What's wrong with this snippet class RepeatDetector public override string Description=>"Returns Repetitions";?

Description=>"Returns Repetitions"; is inside subclass RepeatDetectors

RepeatDetector.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class RepeatDetector : SequenceDetector
    {
        public override 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;
        }
    }
}
SequenceDetector.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class SequenceDetector
    {
        public virtual string Description => "";

        public virtual bool Scan(int[] sequence)
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
}

The challenge wants Description to return "Detects repetitions" (no capital R) you return "Detects Repetitions" (with a capital R).

It's a minor difference but enough for the challenge to complain, if you fix the capitalization to match what the challenge expects then your code will work.

Like this:

public override string Description => "Detects repetitions";
