Add a GetHashCode method to the VocabularyWord class that returns an appropriate hash code

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;
    }

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

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        if(!(obj is VocabularyWord))
        {
            return false;
        }

        var that = obj as VocabularyWord;

        return this.Word.Equals(that.Word);
    }
}

}

It's not clear what this line is intended to do:

      public override int GetHashCode;

It occurs inside a method declaration, but it uses class definition keywords "public" and "override".
