Description
Text code shows:
public override boolean Equals(object toBeCompared) {
if (toBeCompared.GetType() != this.GetType())
{
return false;
}
Student s = toBeCompared as Student;
return s.StudentId == StudentId;
}
C# return type should be bool and not boolean
Suggested change:
public override bool Equals(object toBeCompared) {
if (toBeCompared.GetType() != this.GetType())
{
return false;
}
Student s = toBeCompared as Student;
return s.StudentId == StudentId;
}
