This question looks like it has a typo or am i wrong?

After running this code, there will be________ bird names in the HashSet.

HashSet birds = new HashSet();

ids.Add("Sparrow"); ids.Add("Crow"); ids.Add("Starling"); ids.Add("Finch"); ids.Add("Crow"); ids.Add("Raven"); ids.Add("Starling");

This is in the C# Collections Sets and Dictionairies in the quiz for Hash Codes and Object Equality. To me I figured the answer was zero since the Hashset named birds never has any objects added to it. All of the adds are being done to an object named ids. Am i wrong in my understanding?

It looks like a mistake to me. It accepts 5, i think. (for the reference of anyone else looking at this forum entry, the URL is https://teamtreehouse.com/library/c-collections/sets-and-dictionaries/hash-codes-and-object-equality )

Good catch. :+1:

I totally overlooked that when taking the course myself.

Be sure to submit a bug report to Support. It might even get you the "special Exterminator badge". :beetle:
